Well, it looks like we have our answer.
Next year will wrap up the Dark Horse era, and the rights go to Marvel. The REALLY sad part is that Marvel will apparently not be starting to publish any titles until 2015.

Well that sucks! I really liked the SW: Legacy title...I would assume that the existing series probably won't transfer to Marvel. I wouldn't think they would anyway...
2015. You would think they'd like to start sooner, especially since there are some writers and artists who will be fishing for work after they are let go by Darkhorse.
I'm curious how Marvel feels about it all. I don't really look at sales numbers in general, but Marvel seems to be on a pretty healthy run at the moment. Lots of monthlies, online digital, licensed toys, blockbuster movies.... they're doing pretty well being themselves.
Would Marvel do an imprint (Marvel Knights, Epic, etc.) and focus a specific group of creators on Star Wars or just sprinkle some books into the "mainline"? Will there be crossovers? *shudder*
Does Marvel even want Star Wars again?
