Star Wars Episode VI – Return of the Jedi & Expanded Universe Stories (4BBY – ~6 BBY)

The Crushing Comics Guide to Star Wars – your guide to watching, reading, and collecting Star Wars Expanded Universe canon films, TV shows, novels, and comic books. Last updated April 2017 with titles scheduled for release through December 2016.

The film Return of the Jedi occurs in 4 ABY, beginning with Luke’s arrival at Jaba The Hutt’s palace on Tatooine in 4 ABY and ending with the rebel’s victory at The Battle of Endor. This period of canon stories also includes the immediate aftermath of that victory through ~6 ABY, which saw the dissolution of the Empire and Republic’s rise through.

Note that some short stories, comic strips, young readers adaptations and activity books, and web browser games have been omitted from this order.
