As the Je’daii study the amazing Forcesaber of the banished Xesh, word spreads that he and his fellow prisoner on Bogan, Daegen Lok, have escaped the dark moon! The three young Je’daii who first encountered Xesh are teamed with Je’daii Masters to locate the prisoners and return them to Bogan...and prevent them from bringing about the mad vision that Lok has obsessively held to during his years of banishment...

• Chronicles the origins of the Jedi!

Not too surprising that Lok would escape. I think we all knew that the moment we heard Xesh was being banished to Bogan. Though I do wonder what his vision was... can't wait for this to return!

My body is ready

According to Issue 0, the Cathar on the cover is the Je'daii master weapon maker. So we might see the origins of reverse-engineering the Forcesaber into lightsabers.

I'm pretty sure Lok's vision is the Force Wars. What I'm really curious about is what lies "in the depths of the chasm". Did Dark Jedi really begin with something damaging a Je'daii's brain?

The Weapon Master and the First Blade?

Oh, I hope so.

I'm still curious, though, as to who Rajivari, the leader of the dark-side forces at Kaleth from TOR, will turn out to be. He's bald, and Daegen Lok ... isn't. Although, Daegen could just be suffering from a lack of a good barber.

Seriously, though, I have faith that Mr. Ostrander and Ms. Duursema will do their usual superb job of meshing existing continuity tidbits with their work.

Rajivari was around after they became Jedi and the Force Wars occurred

Holy cow, this is looking more & more like something out of Hindu mythology! Loving it so much!!

Funny, the cover actually reminded me of the 1980's for some reason

That Cathar guy's gloves look awfuly similar to the pair Darth Vader would wear over 25,000 years later

They might even be his gloves, sent back to the dawn of time to create a temporal loop that defies any origin.

A Glove without a beginning, just like the man himself, born of the Force.

I'd just love it if those gloves actually were sent into the ancient past by the Endor Gate black hole, that Cathar ends up restoring balance after the Force Wars, and this series establishes that the missing part of the Prophecy of the Chosen One was that whoever wears those exact same gloves in the future is the one destined to bring balance to the Force.

lol the gloves are excalibur

*Reads thread backwards*

*Gets to first post*

Um... right guys.



*Steps slowly away*

This deserves a bump so we won't have to start a new thread.

Can't wait to get into DOTJ again. The break hasn't killed my interest, but it has caused me to not follow the series as closely as I would like. Can't remember too many of the characters' names.

Don't you mean the First Blade?

My first reaction was to get all excited and shout YES!

But on closer inspection, I think it may just be a split in the middle of the metal spike, as the brass-colour diagonal line seems to match the plate on his gauntlet that would be behind the split in the forcesaber.

At last, the Dark Side begins!

Interesting concept of balance. Bit more Daoist than the movie-era Jedi.

So we have a confirmed instance of someone being sent to Ashla. Curious.
