Star Wars Manga
Two anthology volumes, Black and Silver, in which Japanese cartoonists were handed the setting and explicitly told not to worry about continuity.
Published in Japan in December 2005 by Tokyopop and later in English, with covers by Kia Asamiya. Both volumes are branded Infinities: the English editions print the Infinities logo alongside the story summaries, which settled a question Lucasfilm’s own continuity editor had described as fuzzy. They are neither canon nor Legends.
