Anakin Skywalker has become a slave once again! But he's not just any slave -- he's the personal pet of the beautiful Queen Miraj of Zygerria. While attempting to prevent the Zygerrian auction of millions of Togruta people into slavery, Jedi Knights Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padawan Ahsoka have been thrown into slavery themselves! In captivity, the Jedi have unearthed the supplier behind this newly revitalized slave trade -- Count Dooku and the Separatists!



Star Wars: Dark Times #13 "Blue Harvest" (Part 1 of 5) Written by Mick Harrison; Pencils and cover by Doug Wheatley; Colors by Dave McCaig On sale April 22. 40 pages.

Picking up where the two-part story on Myspace/DarkHorsePresents leaves off, Dass Jennir begins his first job since the destruction of the Jedi Order only to discover that the job description he was given is not entirely accurate. Facing great odds is all in a day's work for a Jedi, but Jennir isn't a Jedi anymore and his lightsaber must stay hidden.

Meanwhile, Darth Vader returns to Coruscant and must face his master -- and fallout from the events in the "Vector" crossover!



Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #40 "Dueling Ambitions" (Part 2 of 3) Written by John Jackson Miller; Pencils by Brian Ching; Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Daryl Mandryk On sale April 22; 40 pages.

Zayne is entered in the "Dueling Duo" Tandem Open, and he has had a special handicap forced on him by threat of death! Aubin, the inexperienced, backward son of a veteran warrior-hero will be his partner in the preliminary battles! Zayne must make sure his partner survives the duels until the last round -- but he can't figure out what is behind Aubin's entrance in the battles. That is, until Jarael discovers that what drives the duel sports is a slavery-based "farm system" that provides the warriors.

Jarael, Gryph, Rohlan, and Zayne must save Aubin and bring exposure to what horrors lie beneath the surface of the duels.



Star Wars: Legacy #35 "Storms" (Part 2 of 2) Written by John Ostrander; Pencils by Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; Colors by Brad Anderson

The fallout from the battle on Had Abbadon is being felt throughout the galaxy. On Coruscant, Moffs Nyna Calixte and Morlish Veed contemplate the news and wonder what it means for their plans to rule the Empire; while across the galaxy, deposed Emperor Roan Fel mourns what has been lost.

Meanwhile "Bantha" Rawk aids Cade in a dangerous plan to save a friend. The conclusion to "Storms" will set a new path for Legacy -- the galaxy has been reborn . . . again!



Star Wars: Vector Volume 2 -- Chapters 3 & 4 Written y Rob Williams and John Ostrander; Pencils by Dustin Weaver and Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; others. On sale June 17; 144 pages

Vector is an epic story with repercussions for every era and every hero in the Star Wars galaxy. Told in four chapters, this is the concluding volume. In Chapter Three (Rebellion Volume 4) Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia have to deal with Vector as it crosses their paths and changes the galaxy! On the dark surface of a desolate moon, Luke meets his first Jedi since Obi-Wan Kenobi, only to realize too late that Celeste Morne is far different than his fallen friend -- twisted by a Sith Talisman and enraged by Darth Vader!

Then, over 135 years later, in the final chapter (Legacy Volume 6), Cade Skywalker's plan to assassinate Emperor Darth Krayt is aided by a "secret weapon" in the form of Celeste Morne -- the Jedi Knight of the Old Republic who is in possession of, and possibly possessed by, the powerful Muur Talisman. Cade and Celeste will change the galaxy -- for better, or for worse!

The epic Star Wars: Vector storyline spread over four thousand years of history and crossed over four comic-book series -- Rebellion, Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Times, and Legacy!
