If you go into this collection knowing the comics were written for kids (and if you look at the stars of the comics, how could you not know that?), then I think you'll be fine. The stories are still simplistic, serving more as vehicles for the morals, but these were written in the '80s. That's what kids' stories were back then, as far as I can remember.
The artwork is OK. The artists seem to be better at drawing the aliens than the humans, so the Ewoks series has the stronger art, though I feel like the word balloons were frequently pointing toward the wrong characters. The Droids series features the occasional humans (including the main cast from A New Hope), and all of them look off. There's a close up of Luke from the trash compactor scene, and he looks more like Will Arnott than Mark Hamill.
I have a lot of these Omnibus collections in ebook form, and this is one of two I ordered in paperback, since they weren't available as ebooks. After reading it, I think I see why this one never made it to electronic format.

The quality of these stories was much better than I expected. It brought back pleasant memories of the shows from my childhood. The crossover issue made no sense considering the events from Return of the Jedi, but whatever. I'm glad I rediscovered this.
