Consider this some potentially good news for those worried about the future of Dark Horse’s Star Wars license, courtesy of editor Randy Stradley:
I think you’re making assumptions based on, well, nothing [in terms of the license being usurped by Marvel in the near future]. Or unsubstantiated rumors. While it’s certainly a possibility that the license could move to Marvel at some point in the future, as of this date nothing has changed.
As someone who wants more Star Wars and (especially) Star Wars: Legacy, this makes me happy. Here’s hoping DH hold onto the books for awhile yet.

The license is definitely going to move to Marvel eventually.

yeah, if anyone believes it’s going to stay with Dark Horse longer than the length of the current contract The Muppets have a bridge they’d like to sell you…

If anything he is the last one to know being the ex-client. And yes, if Abrams puts Star Wars out in 2017, Disney possibly wants to unleash a new lineup closer to the release date to keep momentum or however that mouse way of thinking works. I kind of have an idea, but not the whole picture.
