John Jackson Miller’s Knight Errant to explore the Old Republic… With a double-barreled twist

I had some theories on what the ‘epic announcement’ Sue Rostoni hinted at earlier this week, but Lucasbooks, Dark Horse and Del Rey pull together a surprise: Not only a new comic series from Knights of the Old Republic’s John Jackson Miller, but one that will come with its own novel (and a female protagonist!) Here’s what we have on the plot so far:

…Writer John Jackson Miller introduces us to Kerra Holt, a young Jedi who’s about to realize that her role in the galaxy is far more important, and vastly different, than she could have ever imagined.

Set one thousand years before Episode I, in a time referred to as the “Dark Age of the Republic,” this story takes place in an era when the Sith were legion and the Republic was strained to the breaking point, leaving large swaths of the galaxy with no one to turn to. This pivotal time in the history of Star Wars has been largely unexplored, until now.

Check out the press release (and stay tuned) for more details.

Randy Stradley teases Star Wars comic fans

Over at the Dark Horse message boards, editor Randy Stradley responded to a fan idea with a hint at what’s coming up in the future…

…I am so NOT opposed to the idea that I might mention that we have at least a couple new things in the works which focus specifically on a single main character — one of whom you may even have heard of before.

You may begin speculating . . . now.
