>For the very first time, the worlds of Star Wars and Marvel will collide with an official crossover event.>Titled Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles, the five-part limited comic book series will launch in January 2027, Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal.>Kevin Smith, the actor/director who wrote major runs of Daredevil, Batman, and Green Arrow, writes the new story. David Marquez of Uncanny X-Men and Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man is the artist behind the comic, as seen in EW’s exclusive first look at the cover design.>“Back in the early ‘80s, I had a subscription to Marvel’s Star Wars comics. And as fun as it was to follow the continuing adventures of Luke, Leia, and Han, I always wished that Spider-Man or Doctor Doom could cross over into their cinematic saga,” Smith says in a prepared statement to EW. “So when the opportunity arose to actually tell that story, nobody had to Force my hand! I’m ecstatic to be writing Hope Assembles for the 50th anniversary of Star Wars! Many thanks to Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm for trusting me to fly the Falcon and the Quinjet!”https://ew.com/star-wars-marvel-crossover-hope-assembles-comic-event-kevin-smith-exclusive-12037318
>>154989992>trustingNigga they whore this shit out now and they have been doing it since you first got the DD book. They don't value anything they do.
>Kevin Smith, the actor/director who wrote major runs of Daredevil, Batman, and Green Arrow, writes the new story.This is fucking hilarious.
>>154989992This is some childhood fantasy crap.
embarassing, even for comic book standards
>>154989992>allegedly in 616But Star Wars is established as fictional in 616.
>>154989992Patton Oswalt predicted all this.
>>154989992>Kevin Smith,Unironically, Mark Millar would have been a better choice
David Marquez is so talented, but i feel he is underused at Marvel.His pinnacle was in The Defenders, never saw him shining as bright as he was in that series.
>>154989992Outside of the odd toy cross promotions like the Star Wars Transformers or some game Easter eggs, this is beyond stupid.
>>154989992It's kinda odd that the Star Wars characters on the cover are Luke, Biggs and Wedge.I like those characters, but it's a strange choice for the major Crossover
>>154989992>>154990092Presumably Star Wars is part of the Ideaverse, the pocket realm containing public domain characters that contradict their canonical counterparts (like how Sherlock Holmes is canonically one of Mystique's personas despite there being depictions of Holmes as a person in his own right). This would mean that the "Galaxy far far Away" does exist but only exists as it does in the movies within the Ideaverse, with the possibility that it does have a "real" counterpart in 616 but isn't necessarily the same as in the movies.Does that make sense?https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Ideaverse
I would read it if it was in continuity with the old Marvel Star Wars comics.
>>154989992This was supposed to be written by Millar. I'm not sure Kevin Smith is a better choice.
>>154990238>It's a Luke hooks up with Wanda arc
>>154989992Well it was destined to happen the moment they ran Fortnite crossovers
>>154989992This will either be real kino or real shit
>>154990325It's Kevin Smith, it'll be shit
>>154990331Smith can do some good stuff in comics like his GA run is decent but he's certainly a mixed writer
>>154990229>This would mean that the "Galaxy far far Away" does exist but only exists as it does in the movies within the Ideaverse, with the possibility that it does have a "real" counterpart in 616 but isn't necessarily the same as in the moviesI think I might add to this here.So the Star Wars movies, even if they weren't established as works of fiction within the Marvel Universe, would have some questionable implications on the world building if they really happened in 616 as presented. So let's for example assume that instead of having micro-organisms in their cells that connect them to a mysterious energy field like in the movies, the 616 version of the Jedi have something akin to the X-gene that allows them to connect to the astral plane, while the Ideaverse Jedi do just have the micro-organisms like in the movies.
This is so funny to me since it's just New Hope characters against all the Marvel heavy hitters the Star Wars side looks anemic. They have Greedo right there next to Thanos.
>>154990372So Venom going to be a villain in this?
>>154989992This is stupid.
NGL Doom and Vader look cool standing side by side like that
>>154990408I wish it were just them. Venom and greedo ruin it.
>>154989992The House of Ideas strikes again.
How does this fit into the hypercrisis?
>>154990420Why is Greedo even there? It gives the impression that he works for the Empire, when he was just some bounty hunter who was assigned a job by Jabba to take Solo out before getting shot by him in the first half of ANH
>>154990408Doom and his knockoff.
Suppose that explains the Lego leak
>>154990450He's a bad guy, so as such he's paired with the rest of the bad guys. I doubt Ultron, Thanos and Doom are working together
>>154990372my favorite Star Wars villain that deserves a big headStormtrooper
>>154989992Should have been DNA era Cosmic Marvel meets Star Wars Legends
>>154990372Why not use the sequel trilogy cast?
>>154990604It'd be much smaller
>>154990604It would sell worse if it were the sequel characters
>>154989992>Star Wars and Marvel crossover>Kevin Smith
>>154990669>GOD MOTHER SON>DAMN FUCKING OF A BITCHwhat?
Of course, they will do a MCU/SW movie eventually
You know that Watchmen/DC page?I remember someone making one of Marvel and Star Wars
>>154990669>God Mother SonIslamic understaning of the holy trinity>Damn Fucking of a bitchpajeets cursing
Kathleen Kennedy was trying to prevent this
>>154990604People would shit on it hard, they could have gone with prequels but then no Vader for Doom to teamup with.
>the latest Star Wars movie flopped>the Marvel comics are undersellingIt sort of makes sense. Sort of.
>>154990604Not even that, why not include Boba Fett?
>>154989992>as fun as it was to follow the continuing adventures of Luke, Leia, and Han, I always wished that Spider-Man or Doctor Doom could cross over into their cinematic sagaThis genuinely reads like sarcasm. Kev just taking the paycheck and saying "fuck it, why not?"
Predict the crossover hook ups if they can make Lex Luthor fuck Rogue the Bat then anything's possible
This is all leading to a DC/Marvel/Star Wars crossover Secret Wars deal that'll coincide with the MCU Secret Wars
>>154990740They're saving him for the sequel book. Because this will sell like hotcakes and there will be sequels, right?
>>154990722Marvel doing crossovers is a recession indicator
>>154990604Bro got me laughing no joke
So uh Vader is obviously having a face turn halfway through and then he's jobbing to Thanos right? Which Marvel characters are going to use lightsabers? Deadpool is an easy bet because le hecking fourth wall break.
>>154990372Han, please shoot modern Starlord.
This feels like a "last ditch desperate emergency" idea.Also,>Kevin SmithOoooh, thats a shame.
>>154990705General Grevious and Doom would be kino>>154990759>Joker likes Lopunny>Lex likes RougePlease don't tell me Doom or Vader is going after Renamon in the future
>>154990092Does she kick him in the nuts or something?
>>154990092Peter and MJ go watch RoTJ in theaters in the early comics
>>154990844>Doom or Vader is going after Renamon in the futureThey have good taste
Okay but what are the stakes here? Thanos gets the force and has gay sex with Palpatine? Doom and Vader take over the Empire and go on a multiverse conquest?
>>154989992... See, this shit right here is why I fucking hate crossovers. Nothing means ANYTHING anymore. And of course, they prove how this is cynical "BUY OUR SHIT" nonsense by just having a bunch of the big names instead of characters who might theoretically fit in a space opera. >Hope AssemblesWow, you really phoned in that title, huh? Pathetic.
>>154990871Mid-80s Spider-Man isn't really early Spider-Man, anon
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
>>154990889I didn't say really early, I said early. The 80s was 40 years ago, several decades before you were born, pedantic alpha baby
>no Carol
>>154990885Yeah, it feels like a kid playing with his action figures or Legos but not in a good way.
>>154990922Because Kevin Smith isn't a child
>>154989992OH MY FUCKING SCIENCE, PREORDERING TWENTY OF IT
>>154990229>Does that make sense?No. Comic books are fucking trash. >>154990372The total lack of any cosmic characters is conspicuous as fuck. Also, Nat, is that a fucking lightsaber dagger? This shit is just undignified.
>>154990969>The total lack of any cosmic characters is conspicuous as fuck.Do GotG not count?Maybe it's to keep the power level low, like the most powerful characters on those covers are the Hulk and the FF
>>154990883>Thanos gets the forceDoom and Thanos already have mysticism and psionics under their belt, the Emperor should be curious about the machinations of races like the Asgardians and Titans. Which under better writing would lead to an unnerving discovery and encountered of the influence of the Celestials contrast the Force, but I wouldn't force hold my breath.
I'm surprised at their restraint by not giving Wolverine lightsaberclaws (he's totally gonna get those isn't he?)
No wait, I take it back. The Guardians of the Galaxy ARE here, they're just hidden behind Han, Chewie and Treepio. Yes, put the one set of characters who have even the slightest justification for being here, and you draw them really tiny and obscured. That makes sense. Fuck everything. Also, Quill is going to be utterly insufferable in this thing, isn't he? >>154990919Carol is a cosmic character and an Air Force pilot. Having her be in this STAR WARS crossover is far too logical for these blithering retards.
>>154990969>The total lack of any cosmic characters is conspicuous as fuck.Saved for the sequel mini. Because you know its gonna happen.
>>154991007I understood that reference!
>>154991022>Also, Quill is going to be utterly insufferable in this thing, isn't he?I would guess so, i can't imaige Kevin Smith being able to control himself on quipping with himI doubt this will happen, but it would be interesting if Smith included the more mystical aspect of Star-Lord in this crossover, like the Lord of the Sun stuff from his 70s origin that Ewing used and the element guns
>>154990372This feels weird. Star Wars is basically just ANH while Marvel is psuedo-classic combined with 2010s (Avengers is basically 2012 MCU lineup + Black Panther, MCU-fied GOTG is there)
"The story will see the Marvel Universe see the events of the first Star Wars film take place on Earth after a reality-shattering spell"Kek, hard pass ln this one
Oh hey remember when this was pitched?With Alex Ross art no less
>>154991118Who was the writer on that project again?Kurt Busiak?
>>154991128YeahI probably would've bought that one had it been made
Ultron leading CIS 2.0 could at least be entertaining.
>>154989992Battle of the two dead retard franchises without anything of worth in decades. Star Trek should join the next one.
>>154991206>Star Trek should join the next oneAfter Paramount finally buys WB.
This really sounds like it should be a period piece with the Marvel side being in the 1980s.
>>154991206Star trek and the x-men already crossed over in the 90s
>>154989992Any hype instantly evaporates when you realize they're both owned by Disney.
>won't do Mary Jane meeting mara jadeShame.
>>154989992>kevin smithit's garbage already
>>154991118Seems kinda lopsided. One superman vs a star destroyer is not in the empire's favor. He take the whole death star.
>>154989992>no sequels in its-sequelbros....
Once upon a time this announcement would have hit 500 posts within an hour.
>>154991259does mara jade even exist in the disney canon?
>>1549912924chan and /co/ is a lot slower than it used to be, and Star Wars is a brand that got one foot in the grave, the only IPs it's doing better than are Star Trek and Stargate
>>154991292But now, it's as if they announced a Lone Ranger- Bonanza crossover back when you were young.
>>154991299NoLucas didn’t like her and Disney followed suit.
>>154991299No
>>154990855She kills them and dumps their bodies in the room she was trying to get to
>>154989992The shark jump has finally arrived
>>154990325>>154990341If you think there's even a remote possibility this will be good, I have a bridge to sell you
>>154991356I don't know if you're funning, but I believe it.
>>154991366Nah, that will happen when they make the live action movie.
>>154991404>I have a bridge to sell youWhat kind of bridge?
>>154989992It was only a matter of time. Frankly surprised it didn’t happen sooner
>>154991492Right? I just looked this up the other day and found zilch
>>154989992Damn Marvel really is desperate.
>>154991492Shows that Marvel/disney is spooked, and this is an emergency thing.The Marvel/DC crossovers are another example of this
>>154991542Yeah, it's hard to be outraged because this just feels desperate. It's like they have no other ideas on how to get people to buy books.
>>154991478The bridge to Terabithia, over troubled water.
>>154991542>>154991553Liefeld said that he had already been hearing from people that Yoshida and Buckley were trying to get the project off the ground as back as two years ago
>>154991556Throw in a troubled blonde with a big ass and you got a deal
>>154991542The Marvel/DC crossover was massively successful.
Thiis is it Gwen Stacy's second change at life. Don't even ask this works or how it is possible but the Marvel/Star Wars crossover ends with her resurrection at least's that's the rumor going on. and this is no clone or doppelganger but rather the OG'/Real one.
>>154991603Yes, but it was done by Marvel out of a sense of desperation.if Marvel was doing well, those crossovers would never have happened
>>154991615Yeah, almost 20 years of no crossovers and then suddenly doing them out the wazoo is always going to raise an eyebrow.
I thought predator vs planet of the apes was as low as it could go
>>154991292Mate, even in /v/ some threads lasts 2 or 3 days.
>>154991782>within an hourREAD, NIGGA, READ
>>154989992>official star wars/marvel crossover>barely breaks 100 posts in 2 hours/co/ is dead
Rock bottom
>>154992184What is there to say? Nobody has any hopes for it to be good and it's not shocking or surprising enough to provoke outrage. The best it deserves is a shrug.
>>154989992Comics fucking suck
>>154992184>thread an hour old when i find itTrue.
>>154990092Did you not read his new Jay & Silent Bob Marvel crossover where it goes out of the way to explicitly state it takes place on 616? Editorial doesn't care.
>>154989992I refuse to call Star Wars "A New Hope" but more importantly, they will burn for doing a Marvel/Star Wars crossover and not including the Beast, the most 1977 Avenger of them all.
Seriously though, Kevin Smith? Was no one else available? Or willing?
>>154989992>>154991106>"The story will see the Marvel Universe see the events of the first Star Wars film take place on Earth after a reality-shattering spell"I bet 50 bucks that this is all Wanda's fault, especially since she's right there on the main cover, where she stands out since she's right next to much more popular characters like Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor.
>>154992235The art will probably be decent enough since Marquez is a competent enough artist.I can't think of anything else positive to say
>>154993295Anon star wars is the name of the whole franchise the first movie is a new hope
>>154993567I think she's probably mostly there because they need a girl in the group. Not that long ago it would have been Carol.
>>154993635Star Wars is the name of the first movie, which led to various other Star Wars sequels and spinoffs. "A New Hope" is something Lucas came up with to gaslight the people who paid to see Star Wars in 1977.This is my "Han Shot First" (which he did, in the popular 1977 movie called Star Wars).
>>154989992So this is how far they’ve fallen huh? Who asked for this you think? Marvel or Lucasfilms?
>>154990372Looking at this it HAD to come from the lucasfilms side; they don’t have a single new character there
>>154990912No but 80s spidey is where the current writers say they want spidey to stay as a status quo but they never write him with any maturity or anger.
>>154991608it works this it turns there is even more to palpatine then anybody knew, as it turns he knows the secret of life and death. Thus this is how Gwen gets brought by him why bring her back however, simple you see he figures out peter is spider-man so he turns Gwen into a evil dark version of he that he can destroy spider-man. Welcome to the dark side of the force Gwen and to your worst Nightmare peter.
>>154989992Marvel is highly satanic because it has lesbialas, homersexuals, trannysexualizeds, cuckoldarianism, false gods, witchcraft, and the devil himself.
>>154994125oh do fuck off and stop inserting porn in every thread this is /co/ moron.
>>154994167not a pedophile and stop with the porn>>154994125this is /co/
>>154994256inserting porn in /co/ is against the rules asshole your ass is grass.
>>154990372not even ROtJ Luke?? Like does anyone even believe Marvel side would break a sweat here? ANH has arguably the weakest version of every single character in the saga>zero force Luke>greedy Han>princess Leia>old ass Obi Wan>old ass vader>No memory C3PO>stormtroopers that hit their heads in the doorslike the only non nerfed char here is Chewbacca and just barely.
>>154994457piss off
>>154989992I am sure there is nothing to worry maybe if this were a ongoing series then would be since that could seriously affect 616 continuity.
>>154994536yes nothing to worry about at all this wiill become forgettable real fast, in fact I have forgotten about this already *yawn*
>>154994460He's right, though.
>>154994654I don't give a shit if he is and the sme goes for this crossover
>>154993798If Liefeld is to be believed? Definitely gotta be Marvel
>>154994695nope
>>154994672Sure thing gwenschizo
>>154994711spam
>>154994695Honestly either one is believable.
This will result in Mando and Grogu joining the MCU full time, also>Symbiote Vader
>>154989992Has Star Wars ever done any crossovers in the comics before?
>>154995389Technically they did a non-canon one with Indiana Jones in the comics once.
>>154989992To think it took this long for this crossover to happen. I would've expected it happening before the sequel movies came out.
>>154989992Wow, I really really hate this. Like, disgusted. This looks like complete ASS. Granted I hate Star Wars and the autism that comes with the fans, but holy shit does this not mix well. The designs clash horribly, and no I'm not retarded enough to say "Dude what if Spidey met luke Skywalker!?". They can't even do the crossover competently, like focusing on cosmic characters like Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, Nova, Captain Marvel, or The Guardians of The Galaxy
>>154995409Earth does theoretically exist in the Star Wars universe, but it's not in the Star Wars galaxy.I think one EU writer had some weird justification for why humans existed in Star Wars, and it was due to a time wormhole or something but if I remember correctly, that got rejected
>>154990965that's right Jay
>>154995389No, and they haven't really done any in other media either except for some Muppets and Sesame Street episodes in the late 70s. The Family Guy and Phineas and Ferb episodes were technically not real crossovers.
>>154990372>nothing from Prequel Trilogy>Nothing from Sequel TrilogyJUSTUST
>>154995709Not only that, nothing from Episodes V and VI either. They're ONLY doing Episode IV, which means no Emperor, no Boba Fett, no Jabba, no Lando, no Ackbar... How else can you explain fucking Greedo being on the bad guys cover?
>>154989992huh, the prophecy finally came truehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BBhNkywMJY
>>154990092>implying anyone at Marvel cares about what's canonThis would never have happened under Shooter
>>154995811I mean he writes comics sometimes, maybe they should've gotten him to write this crossover
>>154994200Hej, Gwenschizo, ty pieprzony pedofilu. Co tam? W każdym razie, budzisz we mnie odrazę. Nie zasługujesz na nic. Paul i Gwen już nigdy nie wrócą, a Dylan jest przed nim bezpieczny.Kys Gwenschizo, a pieprzyć te „Jannies”, które cię chronią.
>>154996032marvel and star wars by themselves have such vast universes that going with the laziest trope of "oh my science, is that luke AND steve rogers?!" feels like the most bottom of the barrel "we tried nothing and we're out of ideas" scenario
Why is the Polish faggot in this thread?
>>154996093He saw Spooderman on the image and immediately thought of Gwen, as usual. It's not like he can read.
>>154989992they really using the break glass in case of emergency crossover huh?
>>154995709Nothing from past episode 4 No bobaNo sheev
>>154996080I feel like, if they're gonna be that desperate for this crossover then they may as well have gotten Patton Oswalt to write it as his character announced it in Parks and Rec. It would be a fitting capstone to this era of corporate slop "nerd"-lifestyle invasion of fandomOn the other hand I am glad it isn't Slott or Jason Aaron writing it
Almost got excited for this shit...but then I saw who's writing it.Never fucking mind.
>>154993567She's there to Chaos Force.
>>154989992This crossover concept seems pretty lazy and uninspiring. They should have gone for an alternate amalgam universe with Star Wars versions of Marvel characters or vice versa.
>>154998205Thats been done to death.Funny enough, the last time was that Phineas and Ferb parody. I think that finally killed it.
>>154989992This would've unironically been more interesting if they were crossing over with the prequel era.
>>154989992They're calling it the most onions publication in the history of the printed word...
>>154989992Cool. I figured they would have done this years ago but I guess their kicking of Kevin Smith's bucket list before he goes.
>>154989992>Kevin SmithWow. Way to ruin your epic crossover.
>>154992184Modern Star Wars and Marvel sucks.Kevin Smith sucks.What’s there to get “hyped” about?
>>154996067gibberish spam>>154996093>>154996114bug off with the spam i is not polish,, jannies fucked you posting before and they will do it again for being off topic//

>>154999366What if Darth Vader rapes Gwen Stacy, I think that'd be funny she loves having sex with black guys after all.
>>155002006Gwen would LOVE it because she's a FUCKING whore in fact I think Gwen should double penetrated by Darth Vader and Norman Osborn haha
>>154999366Why are you Polish people so mean?
