Coinciding with the very debut of the original Star Wars film in 1977, Marvel released a six-issue retelling of the original film, followed by a 107-issue Star Wars run that spanned through the entire 1980s until 1986.
After Lucasfilm took the Star Wars title elsewhere throughout the 1990s and 2000s, it was the acquisition of the two companies by the Walt Disney Company that reunited the storytelling juggernauts.

2015 the collaboration between Marvel and Lucasfilm returned, with the Star Wars license being exclusively granted to the comic book publisher following the acquisition of Marvel in 2009 and Lucasfilm in 2012.
