STAR WARS: REPUBLIC #70

"The Dreadnaughts of Rendili," part 2 of 3.

Mutineers have taken hostages and are planning to turn over a fleet of Republic warships to the Separatists. Despite the fact that one of the hostages is his friend, and fellow Jedi Council member Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin believes that destroying the fleet may be the only hope of saving the Republic. But Anakin Skywalker has a plan. The plan calls for daredevil flying, split-second timing, and an untested new weapon--so, of course, Anakin is sure of success!

Meanwhile, trapped on a derelict research ship carrying many dangerous species of animals from around the galaxy, Obi-Wan faces his most hated enemy--alone.

Featuring a guest appearance by a character well-known to fans of the original Star Wars films.

STAR WARS: CLONE WARS ADVENTURES VOLUME 2 TPB

Written by Haden Blackman and Welles Hartley, art by Matt Fillbach and Shawn Fillbach.

Inspired by the Cartoon Network's Clone Wars cartoons, this series tells new stories of heroism and villainy in the same stripped-down visual style.

In the rolling asteroid rings above a remote planet, General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker play a deadly game of cat and mouse against Separatist droid fighters--and a squadron of highly skilled human pilots who have pledged their guns to Count Dooku. Find out why Anakin is known as the greatest pilot in the galaxy.

Also in this volume, Jedi Master Luminara Unuli and her Padawan Barriss Offee race against time to evacuate farmers and their families before the droid forces of General Grievous overrun their village. When Barriss and her squad of clone troopers are caught in the path of the enemy army, only fast thinking and steel resolve can save the day.

96 pages, $6.95, in stores on Nov. 10.
