01 · Summary
What the series is about
Begun as Star Wars in 1998 and later retitled Republic, this long run became one of the major comic records of the prequel and Clone Wars era.
Star Wars / Republic was published by Dark Horse during 1998–2006. IDS classifies the series as Legends, places it in the Prequel & Clone Wars era, and labels its format as Ongoing.
The current run record is Numbering reaches #83. That run description is kept separate from variants, collected editions, annuals, one-shots, and reprints so collectors can distinguish the story sequence from the physical formats used to publish it.

Where it sits in Star Wars comics
Star Wars / Republic belongs to the Legends side of the archive and is indexed as a ongoing from Dark Horse. Its publication span is 1998–2006, with the current IDS run record listed as Numbering reaches #83.
IDS treats publisher, continuity, run structure, physical issue format, variants, and later collections as separate metadata fields so a trade paperback or alternate cover is not mistaken for a different story issue.

Series contributors in bibliographic records
When a collected edition is matched through public bibliographic metadata, IDS surfaces its credited contributors here. This is a series-level aid, not a claim that the same team created every issue in the run.

07 · IDS lens
What this comic can reveal
IDS uses this series to examine how Star Wars represents identity, institutions, belief, conflict, memory, material culture, and social relationships over a longer serialized form.
The goal is not to score or rank the comic. The lens identifies what kinds of social evidence the run can add to the wider IDS archive.
08 · Source record
Publication and collector sources
IDS separates publication facts and creator metadata from independently written summaries and analysis. Representative covers are resolved from bibliographic records and may depict a collected edition rather than the exact first issue of the run.
