September 2007
Much has been told about the legacy of the Skywalker family, but until now little has been said of the legacy of Obi-Wan Kenobi! If you think you know the whole story, prepare yourself for a shock. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan fought a lonely battle -- the outcome of which rocks the future of the Star Wars galaxy! Another layer of the Legacy mystery is revealed in Star Wars: Legacy #16, third part of the six-part "Dragon" story arc by John Ostrander, Jan Duursema, Dan Parson and Brad Anderson, with cover art by Travis Charest. It is due out on September 12.

One of the Empire's most valuable secrets is about to be compromised unless Darth Vader can get to it in time! This is the all-action conclusion to "The Ahakista Gambit," a compelling new story set between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back exploring the Rebel Alliance's desperate struggle against the Galactic Empire. Deep inside an Imperial stronghold, a team of spies led by Wyl Tarson fights for their lives. Loyal to the Rebel cause, each is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to complete the mission, none realizing that Tarson marches to the orders of someone far more sinister than the Alliance. For Tarson, this is the moment of truth -- will he betray those who trusted him with everything? One thing is certain, once Vader arrives, few will be left alive. The action in Star Wars: Rebellion #10 is delivered in high-octane, widescreen style by writer Rob Williams (Cla$$war, Star Wars Tales) and artist Michel Lacombe (Star Wars Tales, Star Wars Empire), with color by Wil Glass and cover art by Ryan Sook. It is due out on September 12.

Negotiations between the Republic and the Mandalorians come to a head in this unthinkable conclusion to the compelling "Daze of Hate" story arc of the Knights of the Old Republic series. Aboard his massive flagship Arkanian Legacy, Lord Adasca believes his plan to become the most powerful being in the galaxy is about achieve fruition. If he is to be stopped, fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick must risk it all with a quickly conceived and untested scheme that requires help from none other than his arch-nemesis and former teacher -- Jedi Master Lucien! Yet as these two former enemies spring into action amidst Adasca's carefully controlled meeting of the Republic and the Mandalorians, another plot is set into motion -- one that will seal the fate of several major players forever! Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #21 is by John Jackson Miller, Bong Dazo, Michael Atiyeh with cover art by Chris Warner. It is due out on September 26.

Venture into new, unexplored territory following the events of Revenge of the Sith! As the crew of the Uhumelé heads for what they hope will be a big payday, Bomo Greenbark learns the reasons why pilot Crys Taanzer hates not just the Republic and the Empire, but even the Jedi. Events during the Clone Wars forced her to make a decision that she has lived to regret. And, though she cannot know it, her decision has had ramifications for Jedi Master K'Kruhk, as well. The real danger still lies ahead, as betrayal is piled upon betrayal. In the dark times, putting your trust in anyone, it seems, means putting your life on the line! Star Wars: Dark Times #7, the second part of the five-part "Parallels" story-arc, is by Mick Harrison and Dave Ross, with cover art by Zach Howard. It is dude out on September 26.

October 2007
A turning-point issue in the most surprising Legacy arc yet comes out on Halloween. In the heart of the Sith Temple on Coruscant, an unexpected acolyte trains in the ways of the Sith. Captured by Darth Krayt, Cade Skywalker has made an unholy bargain with the usurper Emperor. Is Cade following in the footsteps of Vader?

Somebody is betrayed, somebody dies in the October issue of Star Wars: Dark Times. Bomo Greenbark and the smuggler crew of the Uhumelé are caught in the crossfire between two criminal gangs, both of whom want what the crew has. But Captain Heren still has one trick left to play -- and it will result in a dangerous surprise for Jedi Master K'Kruhk, who is half a galaxy away and who believes himself to be out of peril. These are the dark times, and nobody gets away easy -- if they even get out alive! Issue #8 of the series is by Mick Harrison and Dave Ross, with cover art by Zach Howard, and is due out on October 31.

Also out that day is the start of a new story-arc, "Knights of Suffering," in the Knights of the Old Republic series. This tale brings fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick back to Taris -- the scene of his alleged crime, now overrun by the Mandalorian army! Deep in the lower city of Taris, swoop bike gangs battle Mandalorian troops in the streets. An organized resistance to the invasion was taking shape thanks to an old friend of Zayne's, but something went terribly wrong. Reunions and betrayals follow Zayne into the heart of a war zone in Knights of the Old Republic #22, by John Jackson Miller, Dustin Weaver, Dan Parsons, and Michael Atiyeh (with cover art by Colin Wilson), due out on October 31.

And beyond...
Each month, Dark Horse Comics will bring readers a limited-edition hardcover of the best of Dark Horse's Star Wars graphic novels. Available only through Direct Market retail outlets, each volume's print run is limited to initial orders and will not be reprinted. Throughout the vast reaches of the galaxy, wherever fugitives meet or lawbreakers conspire, one name is always uttered in hushed tones, a name guaranteed to strike fear into the stoutest heart -- Boba Fett. His prices are exorbitant, but if you're looking for revenge, or if you're looking for protection, he'll get the job done.

Of course, if you're looking to reclaim your kidnapped fiancé, the heiress to a Hutt's fortune, no price is too exorbitant. Navigating a web of villainy and deceit, Fett will go above and beyond the call to do what he does best -- get it done and get paid! Read about in the ninth volume of the Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Collection, this one containing Boba Fett: Death, Lies and Treachery by John Wagner and Cam Kennedy, with cover art by Mathieu Lauffray. It is due out on November 7.

In December, the tenth volume of the 30th Anniversary Collection brings back a crimson classic. In all the galaxy, there are no more fearsome warriors than the Emperor's Imperial Guard, and none is more loyal than Kir Kanos. But when Carnor Jax -- the most formidable of this elite brotherhood -- betrays the Emperor and orders the murder of the Guard, Kanos must escape to avenge his master. For Kir Kanos, the last loyal Imperial Guard, and the final threat to Jax's rise to power, it is vengeance or death -- there are no alternatives! This installment covers Crimson Empire, by Mike Richardson, Randy Stradley, Paul Gulacy, P. Craig Russell, and Dave Stewart with cover art by Dave Dorman. It is due out on December 5th.
