From 1978 to 1982, Star Wars comic book fans got a weekly dose of adventures in that galaxy far, far away with the Star Wars Weekly comic book.

Issue #118 had The Empire Strikes Back added to the title, as the movie was reprinted, followed by other US stories. Other Marvel sci-fi characters were included in each issue, such as the Micronauts, Warlock, the Watcher, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord, Deathlok, and Man-Wolf.

In 1981, the title changed to a monthly schedule and dropped the "Weekly" from the title. The comic art covers began using more photos from the films, and then became a series of annuals and specials printed in hardcover editions.

George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.
We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
Good for you George! You've earned it.
Thank goodness!
I don't see the irony here.
