5/09/09 Wow

If you haven't headed over to the official site in awhile (and who could blame you with their impossible navigation), do so now! The first eight pages of the new Star Wars: Invasion is up, and it's REALLY good! I think Tom Taylor and Colin Wilson have a big hit on their hands! Check it out here!

3/18/09 501st

The official site's posted the new cover and blurb for Imperial Commando: 501st. You can check it out here.

This direct sequel to Karen Traviss' Republic Commando series (and the latter's Order 66) will be out next month.

2/28/09 Threat of Peace

War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire has gripped the galaxy for decades, but the sacking of Coruscant and a subsequent peace treaty are changing everything.

2/08/09 More Comic-Con News!

News-heavy weekend: Dark Horse will be publishing an online prequel to the upcoming BioWare massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Written by BioWare's Rob Chestney, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Threat of Peace will span the three decades leading up to the game. A new issue will appear every other Friday starting in February exclusively on StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com. Sources from Comic-Con say that Dark Horse will eventually publish a trade paperback at some point of the Old Republic storyline, though whether this is to be a collection of the online material or a new story covering the events of the game itself (or both) remain as yet unclear.

More news!

This will come as expected to some, and upsetting to others, but Rebellion will no longer be continued. Randy Stradley, Dark Horse head-partner, intimated that it was getting harder keeping the story fresh and that the time-frame they were in was continuity-heavy. I think this is good news. If DH can't find a writer who knows the continuity well and works within it, it's just as well they quit while they're ahead. I personally thought the final Vector issues of this series represented Rebellion's high point both art-wise and story-wise. Fans of the classic trilogy era will have Star Wars Adventures to look forward to, digest-sized graphic novels starring Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie and the droids.

2/07/09 Comic-Con News!

Ready for the invasion?! Dark Horse just announced its plans for a fifth series, one taking place during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion 25 years ABY. Check it out!

This ongoing series will feature new characters and stories woven throughout the era known as the New Jedi Order along with Luke, Han, Leia, the Solo kids and the rest of the main cast as well.

The series will be written by Australian playwright Tom Taylor and illustrated by Colin Wilson (Legacy).

Also announced: Be on the lookout for a free Star Wars comic based on Luke's Tatooine nemesis, Fixer. Star Wars: Fixer: From the Shadow of Twin Suns is created by Anthony Forrest (who played Fixer in the deleted scenes of A New Hope) and Kevil Llell.

More news!

1/09/09 Retro!

The new series Fate of the Jedi seems to be going for a very retro look for the cover. Interesting choice. Aaron Allston's heading this series (as he had with the Last of the Jedi series), which will feature Troy Denning and Elaine Cunningham (who's also tackled Blood Oath -- see below) Head over to the Starwars.com for a detailed description of what's going on inside the cover and why Luke is branded an Outcast! (Fans of the old EU may experience a slight tickling feeling in the brain as they recall the days when Luke was also branded "Pariah!")

1/07/08 Don't Break the Oath!

The Blood Oath that is. Lucasfilm unveiled the cover of the upcoming novel by Elaine Cunningham, and I think it looks damn good! The story follows Jedi Knight, Zekk, after his adventures in Legacy of the Force. Head on over to The Official Site for more info. Know, however, that there are spoilers!

12/16/08 Death Comes to Star Wars

In the form of Joe Schreiber's upcoming novel Deathtroopers. Set shortly before A New Hope, it marks the first full-on horror novel set in the SW universe.
