The Je’daii must win this battle—even if it means the end of their order. But how can they attain victory when their greatest hero has joined the enemy?



Here we go the end of the arc!

Anyone else really liking the story?

(Buffy flashbacks included )

 

Okay then.

 

Those hip-hole pants continue to be hilarious.

 

So, will this be the end of the series? It seems unlikely given the plot summary.

 

One of the few bright spots left in the EU.

 

Obviously this can't be the end of the series...they still need to make-out, and that will take another arc.

 

The next arc:

"Oh Get a room you two!"

Dawn of the Jedi: Just Bang Already (5 part series)

 

Ooh, Xesh is gonna be pissed if DaiMon Bok Daegen Lok takes out his girl.

 

That's Xesh fighting her, look at the tattoo

 

Basically, this series has just started, and considering it's storytelling potential, it would be a shame if it ends with this arc.

 

My bad.

 

And it's not just Shae/Xesh either....it's also Sek'nos/Trill, Hawk/Rori (sort of), and recently Skal'nas/random angry Rakata female ..So you see. It truly is an epidemic of "get a room already", therefore, I propose "Dawn of the Jedi: Can Everyone Just Stop Killing/Eating/Being angry and Just Bang Already?"

Wait...we still need to pair up Lok with someone... Hmm...maybe a cactus?

*no shame, no regrets*

 

There's also the need to explain how the Je'daii split into lightsiders and darksiders.

 

I don't think there's any sign of this ending yet. I sure hope not... the Force Wars last 10 years. They don't need to necessarily do all of it, but we should see the order split and its end result...

 

I want to see Rajivari develop his principles. I'm curious as to how similar or different they are from those of the Sith.

 

"Make Force Love, not Force War"

You know, I recently read that the Sun crowned Gwyneth Paltrow the "side bum queen". Seeing how Padmé was the "bare midriff queen", Shae could stand in a proud tradition of royalty and sexism if she only got the royalty part right. Well, maybe Xesh will find out that he's actually a certified prince. Does he have a strange medallion around his neck?

 

And speaking of which...am I the only one who actually wants Xesh to become a potential parent later on if the series continues? Unless he was told by the Rakata that babies come from the Star Forge:
"But Shae...we can't have a baby! Babies come from the Star Forge and you need to give the operators at least 72 hours notice before placing an order!"

Clueless Xesh continues to be both clueless and amusing.

 

Will this be the end of DOTJ?

Hopefully not.

Shae/Xesh still need to make babies now that they've made out in Force War.

I try to be positive because DOTJ is awesome and it supplies Rakata-ness

 

Dark Horse won't be making any more comics after this year.

 

Maybe if they try REALLY HARD, they can squeeze out 1 more arc. Show Raj's downfall, the split, and wrap up the war. Maybe, just MAYBE, Del Ray and publish 1 more novel that takes place between the 1st year (this current arc) and the 10th and final year (the next arc?).

I shouldn't be this hopeful but.....maybe?

 

DOTJ got me into SW and comics. If it gets continued somehow in Marvel, that'll be awesome.
Because if you really like something, you gotta stay hopeful, yes?

 

I doubt John and Jan would leave Dark Horse.

It would not be anywhere near as good without them.

 

John and Jan are freelance.

 

John/Jan worked for Marvel before

you never know....
