    Hmm, kinda sounds like Xesh is similar to the Silver Surfer, merely a herald of destruction, but not really for it. Or he's only helping the Je'daii to save his own skin.

    Cool cover, sounds like the Je'daii's contact with the greater galaxy is only beginning (of course). Still not sure what kind of character Xesh will be. So far he seems like just the obedient Force Hound, but seeing him without the hood will probably show more about his personality. Can't wait to read the final part of this opening arc, its really epic.

    Just thought I'd mention that Wes also colored the cover on this one!

    Such a unique and epic sounding tale... So very pre-Sith. The Tythonians fighting against an out of control force itself? I can only wonder what revelations this leads too.

    Love the cover!

    And I do wonder why Tython itself seems to fight back against the imbalance.

    Hmm... I wonder if DOTJ is the series we'll see the origin of the Chosen One prophecy?!?

    I've been pondering that ever since the Book of Sith established the prophecy and the legend of Mortis as one and the same.

    I don't know. I'd put money on it being cooler than Mortis.

    Yeah. Plagueis theorises on it in his chapter.

    It was already known about by Sorzus Syn, so the prophecy dates back at least as far as the Hundred Year Darkness, so it doesn't seem a long stretch to assume they're angling to make it a part of Jedi myth since the very start.
