Ultimate Star Wars Graphic Novel Library was going to be a limited edition collection of Star Wars comics collected in 10 hardcover volumes. It was going to published by Hamilton Collections, but was cancelled before it had even begun due to a relative lack of interest/orders .[1] The stories that were going to be collected are all based around the Original Trilogy - beginning with stories from just before Episode IV A New Hope and going out to Star Wars: Crimson Empire. Randy Stradley posted proposed content of all ten volumes on the Dark Horse Comics message boards.[2]
