@lordryus: Yeah its canon. Disney owns both. so what ever marvel puts out for star wars should be canon as long as they run it by lucas to see what they Can't do.

This is not the first time that a 'directors cut' of a comic is made.

@trodorne: You misunderstood. I meant if the director cut is or isn't canon, not the regular issue. I knew the regular issue was part of continuity... else I wouldn't have bought over 60 copies of Star Wars #1 (Ive got most of the variants)

I will be so incredibly happy if they add in a bunch of random dewbacks in the background of the art haha.
