Star Wars manga refers to several Japanese comic book adaptations and original stories based on the Star Wars franchise. These manga are typically licensed by Lucasfilm (now owned by Disney) and produced by various Japanese publishers and artists. They cover a range of material, including adaptations of the original trilogy films, the prequel trilogy films, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and original stories set within the Star Wars universe.

Several notable Star Wars manga adaptations and original works exist, with varying levels of adherence to established canon. Adaptations often retell the events of the movies with a distinct manga art style and pacing, potentially including added scenes or altered character interpretations. Original stories offer new perspectives and explorations of characters and settings within the Star Wars galaxy.

The artistic styles range from traditional manga aesthetics to styles that more closely resemble Western comics. Some adaptations have been published in English, making them accessible to a wider audience. Popular artists and publishers involved have varied across different adaptations and series.
