Star Wars The Old Republic Online-only Comic announced
LucasArts and Bioware have joined up with Dark House to create an all-new online exclusive comic book series based on BioWare’s upcoming MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The series will be called “Star Wars: The Old Republic – The Threat of Peace” and will be an action-packed, character-driven episodic series written by BioWare’s own Rob Chestney and published by Dark Horse.
The stories will span the three decades from the pivotal signing of the Treaty of Coruscant to critical events at the beginning of the game.
The storyline goes something like this:
War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire has gripped the galaxy for generations, but the sacking of Coruscant and a subsequent peace treaty are changing everything. As the Republic scrambles to re-establish order, the Sith Empire moves quickly to consolidate power within its new dominion. Behind closed doors, however, individual Sith Lords engage in a quiet but deadly power struggle, and discord breaks out among the Jedi as they wrestle with the moral implications of the new galactic balance. During these chaotic days, the stories of several critical characters interweave as they pursue their passions, stand up for their convictions and ultimately lead the galaxy back to the brink of a catastrophic conflict.
The stories will also feature artwork by Alex Sanchez who is an artist that has done work for the likes of Marvel Age of Hulk, X-Men, and various Dark Horse comics.
New issues of the comic will appear online every Friday at the official The Old Republic website.
