Lando is fantastic, one of the best things Marvels done with SW since getting the license back. The Darth Vader series in there is also pretty good; youll also need Vader Down (a crossover with the main SW title that fits between volumes 2 and 3). The main SW series has its ups and downs, though it may be worth it just for the scene where Chewie dual-wields lightsabers. Leia, Chewbacca, and Hans comics werent really bad but they werent all that good either, from what I recall. And Shattered Empire is probably the most disappointing thing on the list.

I havent read Poes comic and Kanans is okay, particularly if you want some backstory on how he survived Order 66.

I second the Darth Vader series. Great run overall, and there was something about the look of it that I really enjoyed.

I read the main Star Wars title up to issue 35 or so, and it was decent. Some high points but a lot of mediocrity mixed in.

Haven't read anything else.

I recommend the Tag & Bink comics.

Honestly, most of it is mediocre for comic writing.

Tales is an anthology series of mostly non-canon (even by Old EU standards) shorts, some of them very good indeed. Especially the funny ones.

Tag & Bink, which IIRC started in Tales before being expanded, is also excellent. Two rebel soldiers escape the Tantive IV, then bumble their way through the entire original trilogy, always ending up in the thick of the action despite only trying to find somewhere safe to hide.

I can vouch for Vader, Chewbacca, and Han all being good. Haven't gotten to the others yet. Probably gonna try Lando next.
---

The general consensus are that Lando and Vader are legitimately actually good and the rest are wildly varying efforts in mediocrity.
