I actually haven't read the first DOTJ arc (comic shop has them all, but I'm waiting for a sale) but is this the Lightsaber origin story too? Now that Ostrander has wrapped up his 2 currents I wonder if DH will try to squeeze another few in before the SW comic implosion? There will undoubtedly be more arcs, so I wouldn't worry there. Regarding lightsaber origins, I'd say so. In SWTOR, as the Jedi Consular, you visit a place called The Forge (possibly the forge visited in DOTJ # and get the First Lightsaber (green crystal!) _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth… the year of great sadness… the year of pain… and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2261. The place: Babylon 5.

Quote: WT: I'm assuming that a lot of research also had to be done in creating all these new elements in the past? John Ostrander: Absolutely but we always do that. There’s what I call “fair extrapolation” which means you take a given fact and then you tease out what might happen or what it might mean if you logically pursued it. You might ask where did such and such come from. For example, it was a given that the hyperspace drive that later ships – such as the Millennium Falcon – used originated with the Rakatan hyperdrive that used the Force as a power source. Extrapolating from that, we asked how lightsabers were developed and came up with Rakatan “forcesabers” which were forerunners in terms of the overall technology but used the Force itself as a power source. We thought that since a forcesaber would be an aggressive weapon, it would pull on the dark side as its power source. All of which seemed to make sense to LFL as well as us.

I also like how Daegan doesn't want to destroy the Jedaii. I was a little worried about how far they were taking him into badguy territory, but that was a nice move to put him right back in the gray area. _________________

It will be called Force Wars and will jump ahead 1 year in the timeline (note it was incorrectly stated on Jedi Journals that it would jump ahead 100 years). _________________

1337Jedi Knight Joined: 02 Sep 2012 Posts: 275 I think I would be more into the book that is coming out if it had a closer tie in to this comic series. I know it's the same time and all but why not have these characters? _________________ Mara: "Not many people Dare to hug me" Lando: "That leaves more of you for me then!"
