Google Play is offering 80% off these Star Wars comics right now

By David Cornish

30 March 2016

The discounts are strong on Google Play right now.

Google's entertainment store is currently offering up to 80 per cent off a selection of classic Star Wars comics - graphic novels from the expanded universe that are no longer part of the "official" cannon of the saga (because Disney), but are still a worthy read for fans of all thing Force-filled.

Head here for the full list of discounts - we've highlighted five must-reads below.

Star Wars: The Rebellion (In the Shadow of Yavin)

A bridge between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, this Dark Horse Comics series fills in the gaps between the two best original Star Wars films (we'll fight to the death to defend that opinion) with some untold stories of just what happened after the destruction of the original Death Star.

£3.05

Star Wars: Bounty Hunters

A collection of Dark Horse Comic stories surrounding the coolest figures in the Star Wars universe - the bounty hunters.

Introduces you to the likes of Aurra Sing, Dengar and Kenix Kil, as well as supplying some new fiction to everyone's favourite: Boba Fett. Lightsabers are for whimps.

£3.99

Star Wars: The New Republic (Chewbacca collection)

Spoiler alert: in the former extended Star Wars universe, Chewie met his end in New Jedi Order novel Vector Prime.

This comic collection recalled the history of everyone's favourite walking carpet, with Lando Calrissian, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker narrating stories they recall of Chewbacca's exploits.

£3.99

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire

A graphic novel adaptation of Timothy Zahn's hugely successful Heir to the Empire, this saga is set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi - and has acted as a clear influence on Disney's chosen route for the new saga.

Luke Skywalker is attempting to restart the Jedi Order, the Imperial fleet is attempting to reorganise itself and a dark warrior is threatening the newly-formed New Republic.
