Nrama:  One of the things I asked Dave before the show started was, how do you take a kid's cartoon and make it get darker...I mean, your main character Anakin (Matt Lanter) is going to be one of the classic all time villains.  He has these relationships with other characters, like Ahsoka (Ashley Eckstein)...

Lamarr:  Right!  And what happens to Ahsoka?  That's the huge question.  She's not in the movie!

Nrama:  I know! Is she sent away?  Does she die?  Does she disappear?

Lamarr:  He's never told us.

Nrama: You guys have no idea?   I wonder if he knows.

Lamarr:  I don't know.  I feel like he does.  I think they have an idea. 

Nrama:  But not knowing how many seasons you're going to do...it's got to be difficult to pace.

Lamarr:  Right.  Well, they've also flashed back a little bit.  That is part of it.  Because, yeah, you do have a finite amount of time to cover.  So some of the stories have gone back and some of them continue to march forward.

So it seems we will be getting some flash backs. I wonder if we will see things like Obi-Wan as a Padawan with Qui-Gon again? Interesting... Be sure to read the entire article.

Synopsis: On Coruscant, word reaches Duchess Satine that Death Watch is mobilizing, sparking a pre-emptive Republic invasion. On the run from Republic authorities, Satine and Obi-Wan set off to discover the group's true motives.

Under the series title of Star Wars: Knight Errant, this story will first arrive as an ongoing comic series published by Dark Horse Comics later this year. Then, next year, Del Rey will publish a Knight Errant novel, also written by Miller, featuring an all-new adventure.

The story takes place more than 1,000 years before the events of A New Hope, during the Dark Age of the Republic when the Sith were powerful. It's more than a generation before Sith in-fighting led to the rise of Darth Bane, and his restrictive "rule of two" that restructured the order to operate in the shadows. In this timeframe, the Republic is in shambles, crippled by plague and war, and the Sith are dominant.

Miller's stories will not only explore the complex schemes of competing Sith Lords, including families trying to hold onto power and position amid the threats of ambitious rivals, but also the struggle of a valiant few Jedi willing to face the enemy head-on, in systems and sectors that the Republic has abandoned.

"While the Jedi are doing their best to keep order in what remains of the Republic, those living in this crazy-quilt of Sith dominions are in constant danger," Miller said. "If their abusive rulers weren't bad enough, constant internal warfare means no place is safe. Knight Errant asks what it means to be a Jedi outside the Republic, in a time and place where no other hope exists. I've greatly enjoyed working with Dark Horse and Del Rey on KOTOR and Lost Tribe, and I'm really excited about the opportunity to develop a new part of the timeline in two media at once."

Look to Star Wars Insider #116 for an exclusive interview with John Jackson Miller where he gets into some specifics regarding the characters. (The interview, conducted some time ago, uses the comic series' working title of Jedi).

The third book, Paragon includes an exclusive excerpt from Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Backlash (a Del Rey Hardcover slated for release on March 9th) and offers a unique look into the backstory of events that have begun to unfold in the Fate of the Jedi series.

The Lost Tribe of the Sith series is written by fan-favorite John Jackson Miller (the scribe behind the popular Knights of the Old Republic comics series from Dark Horse Comics).

Be sure to read the entire article for a first look at Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith: Paragon. Beware of spoilers if you've not read the first two parts.
