I'd sacrifice the last 3 Star Wars films to make these canon again... :(

All your comic uploads have been fantastic, my man. Wish you a happy new year.
I need to understand more about Star wars comics. How is this chronology related to the movies ? How related are dark horse comics and marvel comics for star wars?

Originally, most Star Wars comics/novels took place in the "Expanded Universe". The EU was considered canon for decades (meaning that it took place in the same universe as the movies), until Disney bought SW and decreed that the EU was no longer canon, and that it would be rebranded as "Star Wars Legends". Basically, Disney said "Fuck off with all of your pre-established lore, we're starting over again." I understand why they did it, but it still sucked.
So at this point, you can consider the comics to be an alternate timeline. They no officially longer connect to Star Wars cinematic universe.

The drop of the EU is unfortunate, but also exciting in a way. What I like is that the Star Wars universe is 30 000 years old. A lot of cool stories can come from this. Disney said that they will make Star Wars movies as long as they do well at the box office. I get that the 60 years of events (Rogue One, Prequels) and characters (Solo) around 0 BBY needs to be covered, but I sincerely hope for a Old Republic story one day or a Sith Empire story. Maybe 10 years from now, who knows. This is why I was saddened with the cancellation of the Level 1313 game
