Fettster	New Omnibus: Rise of the Sith		Lead	[-]
Posts: 819 07/31/08 2:38 AM	Tags : None The Official Site has posted a First Look for the newest Omnibus. During the time of the Republic, the Jedi Council guided the Jedi Knights as they upheld their values of peace and justice throughout the galaxy -- and the Sith waited in hiding for the right time to reveal their existence and take revenge.... Collected in this massive Star Wars Omnibus are tales of that time, shortly before The Phantom Menace: early missions of Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi; missions full of foreshadowing and increasing danger for noble member of the Jedi Council Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi; the Anzati-linked origin of Jedi-assassination specialist and bounty hunter Aurra Sing; and, last, Sith apprentice Darth Maul's own mission to clear the criminal system of any adversaries who could potentially hamper the rise and return fo the Sith! Star Wars Omnibus: Rise of the Sith is due out in January from Dark Horse Comics. Based on that description, I'm guessing the following will be included: Jedi Council: Acts of War Republic: Prelude to Rebellion Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan: The Aurorient Express Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan: Last Stand on Ord Mantell Darth Maul Um...Aurra's Song? Can't seem to recall where Aurra's origin was explained (maybe Hunt for Aurra Sing, but the description of the omnibus specifies pre-Phantom Menace). When the world needs him, the warrior Fet'antilles will rise again from the grave.

Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Then I remembered that TotJ has already been Omnibussed, and KotOR is too new a comic to get the treatment. When the world needs him, the warrior Fet'antilles will rise again from the grave.

Anakin Solo=BEST SW CHARACTER EVER I reserve the right to call anyone I want insane. After all, we're all insane. We all hang out on a site to discuss a Science Fiction series <------ What I strive for

I wonder, could this also have Emissaries of Malastare? I doubt it, if only because the description specifies that the stories in the omnibus are set shortly before TPM. I won't be surprised to see Emissaries (and other early Republic issues) omni'd in the near future...maybe with TPM itself.

Not to turn this into a speculation thread, but I do expect the Quinlan Vos stories (pre-Clone Wars) to be Omnibussed soon.

That's worth something there, and of course I do believe anakin's right that eventually they plan for everything to get an omnibus--in fact I seem to recall seeing Randy Stradley say as much on the Dark Horse boards. When the world needs him, the warrior Fet'antilles will rise again from the grave.

Before the name of Skywalker -- or Vader -- achieved fame across the galaxy, the Jedi Knights had long preserved peace and justice . . . as well as preventing the return of the Sith. Collected in this newest Star Wars Omnibus are tales leading up to The Phantom Menace. First -- previously uncollected and out of print -- Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi save a sinking ship in The Aurorient Express and investigate an unexpected death in Last Stand on Ord Mantell. The origins of bounty hunter Aurra Sing are revealed in "Aurra's Song." Then, in Jedi Council and Prelude to Rebellion we follow two key Jedi Masters, Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi as they face new foes that will try the Jedi ways to the very limit. And finally, in Darth Maul, the terrifying Sith apprentice leaves a trail of death in his efforts to keep the secrets of his Master. I'm a bit perturbed at the lack of Vow of Justice; I would've really expected that one. But I guess it means I was spot-on to begin with, so that's something, I guess. When the world needs him, the warrior Fet'antilles will rise again from the grave.
