It had a twenty-four issue run and was published quarterly, beginning in 1999 and concluding in 2005. Each issue features several short stories from various creators that are set in multiple eras of Star Wars storytelling. Star Wars Tales was collected in six paperback volumes that each contain four issues.

The Free Comic Book Day issue Star Wars: Tales—A Jedi's Weapon was published in May 2002. It is comprised of the story "A Jedi's Weapon,"[5] which was later featured in Star Wars Tales 12.[6]
Continuity[]
Some of the stories featured in Star Wars Tales are non-continuity. The success of the series ultimately led to Star Wars Infinities, a group of comic book miniseries that tell alternate-history versions of the Star Wars original trilogy.[7]
