The Official Site released the “Star Wars” comics fans can expect to see in December. They are as follows:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars #3 (of 6) Written by Henry Gilory; Pencils and cover by Lucas Marangon; Inks by Dan Parsons. On sale December 10. 40 pages.

Eighty million Togruta from the planet of Kiros have suddenly disappeared! It’s up to Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Togruta Padawan Ahsoka Tano to find the lost population. A clue leads the Jedi to the Zygerria system: massive slave auctions have been held there in the past, and will be taking place again soon — with the unfortunate Togruta on the auction block!

This new series is a complement to Lucasfilm’s highly anticipated CGI-animated Star Wasr: The Clone Wars television series!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #36 “Prophet Motive” Part 1 (of 2) Written by John Jackson Miller; Illustrated by Bong Dazo; Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Dan Scott. On sale December 24. 40 pages.

The beginning of a whole new era for loner Jedi Zayne Carrick launches our clever, clumsy hero, his con-artist best friend Gryph, and the bold Jarael into the kind of seat-of-your-pants adventure only Star Wars can provide! The perfect starting point for new readers, this story kicks off the next phase in Zayne’s life with a long-shot swindle gone wrong! Gryph’s got a plan to part some shady-dealing Chev from their unjustly earned credits, but he’ll need more than a disguise to protect him when they catch on to his game!

Star Wars: Legacy #31 “Vector” Part 12 (of 12) Written by John Ostrander; Pencils and cover by Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; Colors by Brad Anderson. On sale December 31. 40 pages.

It is Jedi vs. Sith, and Sith vs. Sith in this, the conclusion to “Vector” — the year-long event that has shaken the galaxy, shattered lives, and brought about new beginnings ends here! Darth Krayt may finally be captured and defeated in the trap set by Cade Skywalker and Jedi Master of old Celeste Morne. But Emperor Krayt might no longer be the most powerful Sith lord in the galaxy. Will Cade and Celeste have another Sith to defeat… or join?

Comic Book Resource’s Jonah Weiland recently sat down with Dark Horse comics founder Mike Richardson to discuss all things Dark Horse, including “Star Wars.” In it he says that he and Randy Stradley “have started talking about revisiting the last chapter of Crimson Empire.” Mr. Richardson also mentions retooling the second mini/graphic novel, “Council of Blood,” for “fixing all the stuff that got left out” due to possible prequel conflicts. The Crimson Empire comics were huge hits and either of these, should they be done, would make EU and comic fans very happy. You can check out the entire video entire here. Enjoy!
