With a setting more than 3,500 years before the movies begin, The Old Republic filled with untold Star Wars stories, and LucasArts and BioWare are taking advantage, with new novels, comics, and short stories expanding the Old Republic universe.
Fans following the development of Star Wars: The Old Republic are probably already familiar with Threat of Peace, the weekly web-comic written by BioWare's Rob Chestney and drawn by Alex Sanchez. Dark Horse Comics will be publishing the first portion of the series as a 96-page trade paperback in April. Dark Horse also delves into the Old Republic universe on a monthly basis with its Knights of the Old Republic comic series, in publication since 2006.
Fans of words without pictures are in for a treat as well. In July, Del Rey Books will be publishing Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance, a hardcover novel by bestselling author Sean Williams, and there's another book already in the early planning stages from Paul Kemp. know for his work on the Forgotten Realms series of AD&D novels.
That's two novels. The Old Republic's script alone has enough text for forty. Looks like someone has a lot of writing to do to catch up!
