Twenty-one years before the events in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is dispatched to prevent the outbreak of a civil war on the homeworld of his Padawan Xanatos. It is a mission that will lead Qui-Gon into close contact with the dark side and start him on a quest that will have a major impact on the future of the Jedi Order!
Yoda, our favorite Jedi, council member, and Clone Wars general, features prominently in the Star Wars: Jedi—The Dark Side arc. Check out these phenomenal illustrations from series artist Mahmud Asrar!
To celebrate the publication of Star Wars: Jedi—The Dark Side, Dark Horse Comics is proud to offer this once-in-a-lifetime contest for our fans: Leave a comment here at the DH Blog for the Dark Horse Star Wars editorial team. We want to hear your Star Wars publishing advice. The catch: this advice has to be some seriously sage sapience. It has to come from the raddest Jedi ever—Yoda. You must provide us with this wisdom in Yoda's distinctive voice and speech pattern.
We'll choose the best response and award the winner with an honest-to-goodness one-of-a-kind prize: a treasured, dusty Yoda snow globe from the vast personal collection of Dark Horse’s VP of publishing and senior Star Wars editor Randy Stradley. While this prize is very likely to have zero financial value, it is truly an artifact of Dark Horse’s Star Wars publishing history and will be the perfect item for regifting to the obnoxious Star Wars fan in your life. Or try to resell it on eBay and let us know how it goes. Whatever—it's yours to enjoy as you please.
Now…enter, you will!
