In the mid-1990s, Dark Horse blazed new trails into the ancient past of the Star Wars galaxy with their amazing Tales of the Jedi series. Now, their creative talents are journeying into the distant future of the Star Wars galaxy, with Star Wars: Legacy.

Set more than a century after the events of Return of the Jedi, Legacy is set in a galaxy held in thrall by a new evil, shattering a resurgent Empire and seeking to destroy the last of the Jedi. Even as their power is failing, the Jedi hold onto one final hope: the last remaining heir to the Skywalker legacy.

Star Wars: Legacy begins with a special 25-cent preview issue #0, written by John Ostrander with art by Jan Duursema and Sean Cooke. The preview issue is scheduled for release on May 17, with the series starting in June.

Meanwhile, in the "present" of the Star Wars galaxy, the Rebel Alliance continues its familiar and classic struggle against the Empire in Star Wars: Rebellion. Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles lead an ambush against an Imperial supply convoy. Recuperating aboard a vessel in the Rebel fleet, Jorin Sol, a former Imperial prisoner, may yet prove to be a great threat. And to top it all off, Luke must deal with the fact that Imperial officer Janek Sunber is in fact an old friend from a desert planet far, far away!

Star Wars: Rebellion -- My Brother, My Enemy #2 is by Rob Williams, Brandon Badeaux and Wil Glass. It is scheduled for release on May 17.

Blast back thousands of years into the past with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #5. In this issue, fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick has uncovered a junked droid that may contain vital information... too bad his former masters have just caught up to him! Trapped on a desolate moon surface bombarded with asteroids, Zayne's situation seems hopeless, even with a motley crew of space stragglers at his side. But when those same scoundrels bring the droid back online, the truth revealed is far darker and more menacing than any of them could have imagined. Now, Zayne must prove his innocence, not only for his own sake, but for that of the entire Jedi order!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #5 is by John Jackson Miller, Travel Foreman, Michael Atiyet and Travis Charest. It is due out May 31.
