"Will this never end?"
Fortunately it does end. While this series was not designated a mini-series, it only lasted eight issues. The same month issue #8 came out, Heir to the Empire #3, Splinter of the Mind's Eye #1, Boba Fett one-shot, Tales of the Jedi - Sith Wars #5, and Rogue Squadron #6 were published. Dark Horse's Star Wars line was expanding rapidly and almost all these issues sold twice as many or more copies as Droids #8.
I have a confession to make, I did not read all eight of these issues. I read enough to know this series picks up right where the mini-series left off. Usually I read the comics before I make a posting, but I really am not a fan of the slapstick humor that infests this series. I did read the previous 6-part mini-series and that was enough for me. I don't mind humor in Star Wars when it is organic to the story, but I want the subject matter to be treated seriously. These stories were not written for me, which is fine; the Star Wars galaxy is big enough for all sorts of tales and I'm not going to like all of them. Instead I will just show the incredible covers by Kilian Plunkett.
