Randy Stradley of Dark Horse Comics has just announced a new comic series set in the "Dark Times" between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope:

The dark times are here. Even as the worlds of the former Republic are drawn into the iron grip of Palpatine?s Empire, the galaxy seems adrift in a sea of chaos, lawlessness, and despair.

On Coruscant, Darth Vader waits for his Master to reveal his vision for the future. But is there a plan beyond obtaining power? On New Plympto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir leads a Nosaurian army in a war they have already lost. Is this what in now means to be a Jedi?

Dark Times #1 is the gateway to a new era in Star Wars history, an era where the future is grim, evil is on the rise, and all paths seem to lead nowhere?

Kudos to TF.N forum member Jon_Bildinger for alerting us to this! You can discus the news right here on TF.N in this thread that he started on the message boards!
