Star Wars: The Old Republic #4 -- Blood of the Empire Part 1 (of 3) Written by Alexander Freed, Pencils by Dave Ross, Inks by Mark McKenna, Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Benjamin Carré On sale October 6. 40 pages.

After hundreds of years, the Sith Empire has returned to the galaxy, determined to crush the Republic that sent them into exile. For young Sith Teneb Kel, it is his only chance to rise above his lowly beginnings as a slave and prove his worth to the Dark Council. Yet their mission for him is unexpected. He will not hunt Jedi, but rather, a fellow Sith -- the Emperor's apprentice!

Star Wars: Knight Errant -- Aflame #1 (of 5) Written by John Jackson Miller, Art by Federico Dallocchio, Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Joe Quinones; Inks by Mark McKenna; Cover by Dave Ross On sale October 13; 40 pages

More than one thousand years before Luke Skywalker, a dark age grips the galaxy as an ineffectual Republic abandons entire systems to Sith control. A newly knighted Jedi on her first mission, eighteen-year-old Kerra Holt has joined a band of Jedi volunteers traveling deep behind enemy lines, with no support from the Republic and little chance of survival. She thinks she is prepared for anything. She's wrong.

John Jackson Miller is also writing a Knight Errant novel for Del Rey starring Kerra Holt in an original adventure! See her here first!

Boba Fett has discovered that his father left a legacy to someone Boba has never heard of. He manages to track down the man, but if he is to learn the reasons behind Jango's posthumous generosity, Boba Fett must first save the man from an army of bounty hunters who want the guy's head!

Star Wars: Invasion -- Rescues #5 (of 6) Written by Tom Taylor; Art by Colin Wilson; Colors by Wes Dzioba; Cover by Jo Chen On sale October 27. 40 pages.

Kaye Galfridian has taken command of a New Republic army, but her first mission has forced her to fight against some of the very refugees she has come to rescue! Mutated by Yuuzhan Vong bioengineering, the refugees have become monstrous killing machines who can only be "saved" by death.

Meanwhile, on their homeworld of Artorias, Kaye's brother Finn must deal with death on another level, unaware that he has become the enemy's objective in a new front in the Yuuzhan Vong invasion!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- Deadly Hands of Shon-Ju Written by Jeremy Barlow, Art by Brian Koschak, Colors by Ronda Pattison On sale December 15th; 80 pages digest-sized trade paperback

Behind enemy lines, Jedi Knight Aayla Secura's covert mission is threatened by an encounter with Shon-Ju -- a former Padawan turned cult leader. Shon-Ju claims to be after the same Separatist warlord that Aayla was sent to capture, but he also has plenty of reasons to hate the Republic and the Jedi.

The Force is with Aayla, but she may need more than her lightsaber against "The Deadly Hands of Shon-Ju!"

Star Wars Omnibus: Quinlan Vos -- Jedi in Darkness Written by John Ostrander and Pat Wills, Art by Jan Duursema, Davidé Fabbri, Ramon F. Bachs, Christian Dalla Vecchia, Guy Major and others On sale December 22. 504 pages.

From his first appearance as a mind-wiped amnesiac to his triumphant passage to the rank of Jedi Master, few Jedi had more brushes with the powers of the dark side and the evil of the underworld than Quinlan Vos. This volume includes over 120 pages of story that have never been collected, plus the introduction of Jedi Aayla Secura -- who made the jump from the pages of the comics to appearances in the films Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

"We're telling more of a linear story this time that covers the series from start to finish," says Green. Senreich says, "We wanted to take the Star Wars universe and see if through the eyes of our Robot Chicken: Star Wars Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Gary the Stormtrooper. We'll still flip around the universe but we'll get a unique perspective from the bad guy side, from people who just want to rule the universe."

"We are pleased to confirm that The Art of Ralph McQuarrie will be attending Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Florida from August 12-15, 2010.

While we are unable to disclose all of our exciting plans for the show until they have been announced on StarWars.com, we can confirm that our commemorative art print has been approved, printed, and in a Celebration first - HAND SIGNED by Ralph McQuarrie. We also wanted to share the one thing that we can talk about now - our show exclusive giveaways!

Attendees of the last three Star Wars celebrations will no doubt be familiar with the free Ralph McQuarrie art bookmarks given away each day of the shows in Los Angeles, Europe and Japan to celebrate the release of the Dreams and Visions Press book, The Art of Ralph McQuarrie. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back at Star Wars Celebration V, we have created a set of 9 trading cards showcasing photos of Ralph working behind the scenes as well as in costume as General McQuarrie. Fans who collect all 9 cards will be able to assemble a puzzle of Ralph's iconic Yoda painting on the back.

We'll share the details on how attendees can get the free cards soon, and for now here's a sneak peek at what they look like."
