Apparently I forgot Star Wars: Empire, and specifically Crimson Empire. And also the "Rebellion" series. All of these came out right when I was into buying comics at newsagents and book stores (like all good nerdy kids, lol), and I remember Empire in particular being excellent, but also really hard to find, at the time...
Newsagents here (this is Aus, right) would do like, a limited run of the first few issues, and then it would just... Disappear. As is fairly standard/"normal", I think... Or used to be, at least.
This was just before Sith came out, though, so Star Wars/Prequel "mania" was pretty much in full force, lol. And it was back when people still bought things, in person, too, so it was everywhere...
Do you have Happy Meals at McDonalds where you are?? Anyway, in Australia, Happy Meals are kids meals at what we call "Maccas". They come with toys/collectibles (or rather, they used to), and they were fucking massive, when I was young. So, if something like Star Wars made it into a line of Happy Meal toys, you knew it must've been popular, heh.
