This article contains information from an unlicensed Star Wars Legends source.

This article's subject originated in a source that was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process, and its licensing status was never confirmed by Lucasfilm Ltd.

"Logray's Staff" (Spanish: "El baston de Logray") is a two-page comic that was drawn by Beaumont Studios in 1986. It was published in Spain by Editorial Gepsa, under the MyComyc imprint and in Castilian.[1]

Rich Handley's plot summary

Two Duloks sneak into the Ewok village and steal Logray's magic staff for Gorneesh, who uses it to make himself extra smelly and scare swamp creatures. Logray confronts the king, utilizing his magic to take control of the staff. Terrified, Gorneesh returns the stick and runs away.[1]

Development

The Droids and Ewoks strips featured in MyComyc in 1986 were rediscovered in 2013 when a fan named Adolfo Rodriguez mentioned them on the DarkHorse.com forums. They were soon afterward translated into English by Star Wars author Abel G. Peña, with his colleague Rich Handley re-lettering them. The two then made the comics available for download on their respective websites on April 10. The original author is unknown.[1]

Continuity

Dark Horse's Vice President of Publishing, Randy Stradley, was interested in including the MyComyc strips in a future Star Wars Omnibus publication. When he inquired at Lucasfilm Ltd. about whether they had been officially licensed at the time of their publication, Lucasfilm found no paperwork proving that Editorial Gepsa had actually licensed the titles, despite the presence of appropriate copyright information. Nevertheless, Handley and Peña strongly suspect that the licensing did occur, although Handley has asserted that the "the strips' legitimacy is considered suspect for now, and Dark Horse has no plans to reprint them unless documentation emerges."[1]
