So, for those who haven't read them, the two comics being published by Marvel, and taking place in the continuity between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, are pretty magnificent. Star Wars covers covers the expanded adventures of Luke, Leia, and Han between IV and V, and Vader is about Darth in the doghouse following the destruction of the Death Star.
I think they're stellar, but then, I've never dug too deeply into EU materials. Has anyone else read them? Have thoughts about them? Has anyone considered home brewing material for the new characters, planets, and gear, because there's some neat stuff in there that's teased out at a rate that would be very manageable to adapt.
It strikes me that they're of particular interest because they're one of the new wave of materials that are part of the official canon and they're set right in the midst of the beloved OT. At the same time, they aren't afraid to add potentially enormous new wrinkles to the mythology (None of which I'll spoil, since I'm not entirely sure if spoiler tags will work here). I wonder if FFG has considered folding any of those ideas into their own game lines.
