Star Wars: Jedi - The Dark Side Comic Posted By Chris on January 27, 2011
Fans of Qui-Gon Jinn should be jumping for joy in 2011. With Liam Neeson reprising his role in upcoming TCW episodes, this news will create even more excitement. Here's an excerpt from MTV.com:
STAR WARS: JEDI?THE DARK SIDE #1 (of 5)
Scott Allie (W), Mahmud Asrar (A/Cover), St?phane Roux (Variant Cover)
On sale May 18
FC, 40 pages, $2.99, Miniseries
Twenty-one years before the events in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is dispatched to prevent the outbreak of a civil war on the homeworld of his Padawan Xanatos?whose father is king. It is a mission that will lead Qui-Gon into close contact with the dark side and start him on a quest that will have a major impact on the future of the Jedi Order!
? Here is an opportunity for readers to get onboard a new series, set in a wild and wide-open era of the Star Wars mythos!
? The story of Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn?s Padawan, before Obi-Wan Kenobi!
MTV NEWS: There are a lot of Star Wars out there, and a lot more of them are written every day. What sets "Star Wars: Jedi - The Dark Side" apart from other Star Wars stories?
SCOTT ALLIE: We wanted to tell a story with a lone hero out on the edge of space, not dealing with these big galactic concerns, but having adventures on a much more personal level.
MTV: How did you settle on Qui-Gon Jinn for the main character?
ALLIE: We were looking for a Clint Eastwood-type of character. It's always better if you can have it tie into the Star Wars films, to connect with readers, but Luke's story and so many other characters' are bound up in continuity. After discussing it for a while, Randy Stradley - our Star Wars editor here - said there's a character whose story is tied into Darth Vader's back story, which is really the backbone of the whole Star Wars mythology, that might be a good fit: Qui-Gon.
MTV: Given what we know of Qui-Gon's history already, where will this story fit in with his overall character arc?
ALLIE: Well, Qui-Gon makes sense because it's easy to look at Episode I and wonder what he was doing 10 or 15 years earlier. We're going back to an early part of his story and telling a pretty important part of the shaping of Qui-Gon as a Jedi Master.
