Blood of the Empire #8 is online!

Posted July 30th, 2010 by Mark

Blood of the EmpireThe Old Republic: Blood of the Empire concludes Arc Two of The Broken World [HERE] this week. The eight issue of the ongoing free webcomic is continuing the crazy mystery that left everyone hanging at the end of issue seven.  Will Kel find his answers in time? What is Kressh’s ultimate plan?  Check out the synopsis for issue eight below:

Teneb Kel is confronted with a strange and frightening vision of the past, the future, and of his greatest enemy. As he lies broken in the Lenico wasteland, he must seek the truth about Exal Kressh and the Emperor’s goals within his mystical dream–or be utterly destroyed when he returns to reality.

As if issue seven wasn’t confusing enough!  The eighth issue continues to perplex the mind.  Kel continues his “vision quest” or at least we are left thinking he’s having a vision.  While in his vision he learns some terrible truths.  Truths that make you stop and wonder what is going on with the Sith Empire in this timeframe!   Most notably the Emperor himself!  Everything seems to hinge on this Sith Emperor, and what Kressh found on Lenico that changed everything for her.  Will learning the same truths change everything for Kel as well?  So many questions!  Who is Darth Thanaton?  And how does he fit into Kels vision?  And what’s going on with the vision in the first place?  How much of it is real?  Where is Kressh REALLY at?  Who is the Jedi with Kel’s Bith slave?  So darn many questions and so very few answers given!  But don’t worry- ‘Arc Three’ kicks off soon, and you know we’ll be here to give you the details!  So stay tuned as more details are sure to come!

Only months after LucasArts saw its President, Darrell Rodriguez, depart the company, its Executive Producer has now also left. Haden Blackman was with LucasArts for 13 years and helped create The Force Unleashed franchise along with such classics as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Star Wars: Force Commander and LucasArt’s first MMO, Star Wars: Galaxies as well as a number of comics and books. He released the following statement earlier today:

“I’ve had a fantastic time working with the team at Lucasfilm and am really grateful for their ongoing support,While the decision to leave LucasArts did not happen overnight or come easily, I really feel that now is the best time for me to move on and explore new creative challenges and I look forward to the next phase of my career.”

It’s sad to see someone go who has added so much to the Star Wars universe, but we wish him well in future endeavors!
