Star Wars was the subject of big announcements by Dark Horse Comics today at the New York Comic-Con. Five new Star Wars series will deal with everything from the earliest days of the Jedi in Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, to a blood call for vengeance following the death of Bobba Fett in Star Wars: Blood Ties – Bobba Fett Is Dead! There will also be a Darth Vader adventure – Star Wars: Death Vader and the Ghost Prison; a series, Star Wars: Knights of the Republic – War, that details a war between the Republic and the Mandalorians, and a new Knights Errant series – Star Wars: Knights Errant – Escape.
The press releases follow the jump.

And when I say unleashed, I mean unleashed! The nine-disc blu-ray Star Wars release will include so many extras that it’s hard to know where to begin, but as a fan of the audio commentary, I say let’s start with two commentaries for each film – one by George Lucas and a handful of select cast and crew; the other put together from archival interviews with cast and crew.
Then, in addition to previously seen features, each trilogy gets a disc of never before seen deleted scenes, extended scenes and much, much more – and the final disc includes three brand new documentaries.
