what ? no karma in the special hero selector today ? <| sep |> Haven ' t noticed a change yet <| sep |> First , this list will give a straight chronological reading order for the comics while this list should give you an idea of how the comics interact timelinewise with respect to other Star Wars media . That stated , in terms of the comics making sense there aren ' t actually too many points to cover . The only issues where I ' d say reading order truly matters are the ones that make up the Vader Down crossover between Star Wars and Darth Vader , the reading order for which looks like Vader Down # 1 Darth Vader # 13 Star Wars # 13 Darth Vader # 14 Star Wars # 14 Darth Vader # 15 There ' s also a bit of overlap in the events of the first Star Wars and Darth Vader arcs . I don ' t think they require a special reading order so long as you read one arc after the other , but if you want to read things in strictly chronological order the order is Star Wars # 13 Darth Vader # 1 Star Wars # 4 Darth Vader # 24 Star Wars # 5 Darth Vader # 5 Star Wars # 6 Darth Vader # 6 It ' s worth noting that there is some important overlap between the comics and the TV shows . I think I benefitted a lot from watching the first season of Rebels before reading Kanan , although I wouldn ' t label it as an explicit requirement . In addition , I ' d say that watching pretty much all of The Clone Wars is a requirement for reading the Darth Maul Son of Dathomir miniseries as the comic is an adaptation of unfinished episodes .
