The rescues have all been attempted, and the rescuers -- Finn Galfridian and his sister Kaye -- have learned fateful lessons about the Yuuzhan Vong invaders.

But Finn has also learned a secret about his mother and received clues about the mystery surrounding him. Finn knows that someday he must go back to the fight to free his homeworld from the invaders, as well as return to Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy and complete his Jedi training. But first he has a mission that he must complete in order to complete himself . . .

Star Wars: Knight Errant #4 -- Aflame Part 4 (of 5) Written by John Jackson Mille; Pencils by Ivan Rodriguez; Inks by Belardino Brabo and Marcio Loezer; Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by and Joe Quinones On sale January 12th.

Jedi Kerra Holt prevented the destruction of the mining colony of Chelloa . . . but she also began a Sith-on-Sith war, and the colony is in the middle! Complete annihilation has not come to the planet of Chelloa by the hand of Sith Lord Odion, but a war between him and his rival brother, Lord Daiman, might not leave much of the planet for either of them to rule. It's up to Kerra to find the advantage in the rivalry between the two Sith.

Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command #1 (of 5) Written by Haden Blackman; Pencils by Rick Leonardi; Inks by Dan Green; Colors by Wes Dzioba; Covers by Tsuneo Sanda and Douglas Wheatley On sale January 26th. 40 pages.

An all new mini-series starring Vader begins! Still haunted by the events in Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader must set aside his past and put his future on hold for a mission to the mysterious Ghost Nebula to locate -- and if possible, rescue -- a missing Imperial expeditionary force.

But what seems a perfect opportunity to lose himself in his duty is complicated by two factors: he is paired with a willful yet highly competent co-commander, and the officer they are being sent to locate is the son of Vader's rising nemesis, Moff Tarkin.

Star Wars: Legacy -- War #2 (of 6) Written by John Ostrander; Pencils and cover by Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; Cover by Brad Anderson On sale January 26th. 40 pages.

It's all-out war as the Sith Empire unleashes its forces -- and its secret weapons -- on the rest of the galaxy. As Emperor-in-Exile Roan Fel loses ground against the Sith, he plots to use the enemy's own devices against them -- regardless of the cost in innocent lives.

Meanwhile, Cade Skywalker has a plan to draw out Darth Krayt for a showdown, a Sith spy within Fel's ranks is revealed, and Fel's own spy meets her fate!

Star Wars: The Old Republic Volume 1 -- Blood of the Empire Written by Alexander Freed; Pencils by Dave Ross; Inks by Mark McKenna; Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Benjamin Carré 96 pages. On sale March 2nd.

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!

The release of The Old Republic promises to be a Star Wars event of the highest order, a game-changing moment that will mobilize legions of fans to explore a never-before-seen piece of the Star Wars mythology!
