Star Wars: Republic #66

Mace Windu commands the cover of this 2004 Clone Wars chapter, his purple lightsaber igniting as swirling violet energy engulfs the frame around him — a striking visual that makes the tagline "Unleashed!" feel entirely earned. It's the second half of "Show of Force," written by John Ostrander with interior art by Jan Duursema and Dan Parsons, and the cover — fully penciled and inked by Duursema — channels real urgency into the Jedi Master's determined, battle-ready stance. Dark Horse's Star Wars: Republic consistently delivered compelling Clone Wars stories, and this issue puts one of the galaxy's most formidable Jedi front and center.
