Just got the reprint of Dark Lords of the Sith from Lucas books.

I forgot just how bad the art was on this series. In comparison to the first book and the Sith War. But the covers are all amazing. Of course Hugh Fleming is always amazing.

I got the Marvel Epic collection reprint of Empire Strikes Back arriving tomorrow. Star Wars is like 40 bucks so i don’t have that one yet. There is also one other book i need to get to collect all the books from the first volume Complete Marvel Years.

The books are quite good as far as reprints go. I hate the Legends logo slapped on the books though. Its really ugly on the slipcover on the hardback that has Boba Fett on the cover.

Don’t have the artists edition of Empire by Al Williamson, or the artifact edition of Star Wars. They look really cool though and are the original art pages photographed in black and white. The Chaykin/Infantino stuff is awesome.

Addendum: decided to get the reprint of Star Wars now i only need that one other book in between Star wars and Empire Strikes Back to complete the reprint of the original Marvel run.

additional note: the Marvel reprints have very bad color registration and poor paper, worse in the trade paperback than the hardback. For the original marvel run versus the dark horse a long time ago volumes. The new editions look very digital and flat. I was pleased with the hardbacks despite the poor paper, but the reprint of Star Wars is very poor and empire reprint is so so.
