Star Wars Omnibus

Star Wars Omnibus is Dark Horse Comics' program to release volumes collecting comics that were formerly difficult or near-impossible to find. A Dark Horse publisher's summary states:

Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars Omnibus Collections were created as a way to showcase actual novel-length stories or series, and to provide homes for "orphaned" series, single-issue stories, and short stories which would otherwise never be collected, or which might fall out of print.

Eventually, there would probably be an Omnibus for every series (or for groups of stories taking place in the same time period). Each Omnibus volume would contain the equivalent of three to five 4-issue trade paperbacks. Dark Horse planned to release two or three per year, resulting in all of the existing trade paperbacks being "omnibussed". Having "omnibussed" all of the existing comic material, the project would become an ongoing program. After the sale of Star Wars to Disney, Marvel Epic Collection series now carries out the task of republishing large amounts of collected Legends issues in paperback format.
