I have to revisit the original Marvel Star Wars i haven’t read them since i bought the A Long Time Ago, volumes. Sadly they never finished the series. Return of the Jedi adaptation with the original colors wasn’t reprinted. The rest were faithful to the original print with facsimile colors by Digital Chameleon.

I think Marvel did another printing which is also “remastered” and isn’t the original colors. I have to see if the hardback volumes are the original in the complete Marvel years.

addendum:
Decided to get the Hardback reprinting of ROTJ comics adaptation just to see if its the original non recolored dark horse, or Disney versions. I wasn’t able to find any samples online beyond some youtube videos.

If it is indeed a facsimile of the original then i can consider my along time ago volumes and this printing complete the original run of comics in my collection, which i can read other than the comics themselves which are on newsprint and i don’t want to damage them.

I was able to affordably get the Complete Marvel Years volume 2 and 3. The first volume, volume 1, the one i really want is out of print. That one has every comic from Star Wars #1 and up til the end of the Empire Strikes Back adaptation. But its also going for for hundreds of dollars now not the 90 bucks it was going for. These are really nice hardback printings. But they are not reprinted at full size, for every book in the Omnibus.

Edit: finally got complete Marvel Years volume 3. This book is huge and impressive. And Jedi is indeed the original colors. The Cover gallery is disappointing though, no full page reproductions in a gallery style. I forgot how cool Lumiya’s first appearance was.
