New Star Wars Series to Reveal the Origins of the Jedi Order

Dark Horse will be releasing a brand new Star Wars comic series that will finally show insight to how the Jedi Order came to be, something thats never been explored in the entire Star Wars Universe.


The Jedis were always my favorite part of the Star Wars series but I never realized how they came to be, so this will definitely be a pick up for me. Dark Horse has released a small tease of the background for the story.

"On the planet Tython, in the center of the galaxy, an order of warrior monks strives to maintain peace and to balance the mysterious power known as the Force. But a stranger is coming--one who will destroy both peace and balance, and open the galaxy to exploration and conquest. This is where it all begins! John Ostrander and Jan Duursema of Star Wars: Legacy fame reveal the mythic age of the Jedi's beginnings!"

When can you get your hands on the comic? The new series is scheduled to be released February 15th of next year. The new series has yet to be given a title.

Qui-Gon Back In Action

Obi-Wan's former master gets to star in his own mini series coming this May in Star Wars: Jedi – The Dark Side. This new 5 issue series takes place 20 years before Phantom Menace. Since not much is known around Qui-Gon, and that not much work has been done with him, this gives the writers the room to develop him a lot more. There will be some new characters, and some well known characters will be returning. Go ahead and take a gander at the article I posted for you, it seems like it will be an interesting comic. Dark Horse does really good jobs on their Star Wars comics.

New screenies for Arkham City has showed his face. Looks like Batman is laying down a beating on some thugs.
