There's a new Star Wars comic coming out in January, called Star Wars. It follows the characters immediately following the events of the first movie.

My plan is to pretend that nothing else exists other than 'A New Hope,'" said Wood. "At least in the minds of the characters. The fact the reader knows so much, especially things the characters don't just yet -- such as Luke and Leia being related, Vader as their father, et cetera -- makes for some fun writing. I love 'Empire,' and maybe in the future I'll catch up to that film story-wise, but for right now I'm enjoying this beautiful moment in time, starting literally days after the Battle of Yavin when everything is set up and the future is wide open.
It looks like it could be interesting, but I'm gonna wait to see how word of mouth is.
Some people are already discussing it. A number of fans on TFN are afraid this series will disregard previous canon and go off on its own course.
Why they care about such a frivolous issue, especially at this point in time, is beyond me. They certainly didn't care when the prequels came out.
