Dark Horse and Del Ray Announce 'Star Wars: Knight Errant'

Jedi's, Sith Lords and much, much more!

If you're a Star Wars buff and you cannot get enough of the Star Wars Universe, then you are in luck! Dark Horse and Del Ray Books are going to be joining forces to release a brand new series titled Star Wars: Knight Errant. The series will focus on the darkest moments in the Star Wars Universe and will be written by fan favorite, writer John Jackson Miller. Miller's previous works include Knights of the Old Republic and The Lost Tribe of the Sith, so you know he has a lot of experience writing within the genre. 

Star Wars: Knights Errant will be released as an ongoing comic book series by Dark Horse, and published in trade by Del Ray later. The events therein will follow what we saw in A New Hope, and will focus on "the Dark Age of the Republic when the Sith were powerful." 

"While the Jedi are doing their best to keep order in what remains of the Republic, those living in this crazy-quilt of Sith dominions are in constant danger," Miller said. "If their abusive rulers weren't bad enough, constant internal warfare means no place is safe. Knight Errant asks what it means to be a Jedi outside the Republic, in a time and place where no other hope exists. I've greatly enjoyed working with Dark Horse and Del Rey on KOTOR and Lost Tribe, and I'm really excited about the opportunity to develop a new part of the timeline in two media at once."

This sounds pretty awesome! As if that wasn't enough though, Dark Horse is also running a Twitter contest where the winner will receive a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Vols. 1-8!. Who doesn't want that? Check out their website for the official rules.
