Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi

In the early 1990s, Dark Horse Comics expanded the Star Wars universe beyond the films with Tales of the Jedi, a five-issue miniseries written by Tom Veitch. Illustrated by a team including Chris Gossett, David Roach, and Janine Johnston, this story reached back thousands of years before the Galactic Empire to explore the ancient Sith and Jedi. It established a foundational era of the expanded universe, introducing concepts and conflicts that would resonate through later comics and novels.
