I mean, that’s thousands of pages of material, thousands of pages of story that I got to create with some of the best artists in all of comics, and told stories that resonated with the fans, and have really given me the Star Wars career I have today, which is significant and goes beyond comics. But for me, it just felt like a really solid, real milestone that made me feel really good. You can do that by loving Star Wars, however you want to love it. And you don’t have to write a hundred comics to do that. It meant to me that I had kind of definitively done what I always wanted to do in Star Wars, which was to make a mark, contribute in some significant way to this thing that I’d loved since I was really little.

And I realized that, at least in the modern canon, no one else had gotten there. And so I was like, “Man, that’s crazy.” And then I did some more procrastination slash research slash analysis, and looked to see what some of the other prominent Star Wars comic book writers had done. I think, when I ran the numbers, it was like 97 or something like that. I realized how close I was to writing a hundred. I was just, “I wonder how many of these things I’ve written,” and I just started adding it up because it was something that you do to procrastinate from doing the actual work of writing the issues. What does it mean to you?Ĭharles Soule: When all of this occurred to me, it was really just late last year, probably. : To start, I want to say congratulations on the milestone.

When those issues are canonically important issues of Marvel’s Star Wars comics, take you to one side and interview you which is what’s just happened to Charles Soule as he explains how he got to this magnificent milestone. As contributions to the Star Wars galaxy go, hitting 100 issues of anything is worthy of celebration.
