Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi

All new ongoing series from Dark Horse

written by John Ostrander and pencilled by Jan Duursema. It will be set in the earliest days of the Jedi Order, beginning in 36,453 BBY, in a time before the polarization of the light and dark sides of the Force. A preview Issue 0 will be released on February 1, 2012, followed by the series' first issue on February 15. Dawn of the Jedi will be an ongoing, but not monthly, series

Son of a b*tch, they just don't care at all anymore. 36,000 BBY the "earliest days of the Jedi Order"? That's a millennium before the establishment of the Infinite Empire, and 11,000 years before the actual founding of the Order.

Goddamn, anything to make a buck and print a pretty picture.

No doubt they're milking it but i'll see how it turns out first might actually be good.

I'm actually really looking forward to this (dating error aside.) I've been dying for some content around this period.

will check out this, i am 😄

This has the potential to be amazing. Hope they don't screw it up.

If they do it well, I'm all for it. Of course, the technological aesthetics had better make sense. This is before Jedi had lightsabers, though. They have to tread carefully.

They're carrying katana's, so theres that.

Then we've come full-circle.

Although I've just noticed that in Swtor, in the Jedi Consulars first quest, you see a 'founder of the Jedi Order' with a lightsaber on his belt.

Whoops!

the pyramid like ships remind of Stargate with the Ga'ould

That guys helmet is amazing.

So apparently the lightsaber was invented 35,000 BBY, or earlier now.

*sigh*

So I assume there won't be any rational portrayal of technological evolution? Apparently technology just comes to Galaxy out of nowhere. I'm kind of tired of mysticism regarding technology and inventions. Yes, the Force is mysticism, but one shouldn't forget that Jedi are not Galaxy and there is a civilization apart from them.

But it appears Rakatan empire is already around at the time of DotJ.

They'd been around for a while even then. But otherwise, thank you! Glad to see I'm not the only one sick of the permeance of the Force in every single aspect of Star Wars.

LOL@lightsabers existing

Yeah, a bit of logic wouldn't harm the Galaxy. A little bit of "academic development in the evolution of first civilizations" should do the trick.

As far as I know, those are not lightsabers. No lightsabers in DotJ. At least that continuity will not be screwed up.

He's talking about this guy i'm presuming

Ostrander stated that its not a lightsaber.

Does it really matter? Look at it. It might not be called a "lightsaber" but it's obviously a "beam sword thingy". It's close enough.
