Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - Knights of the Old Republic

A single-issue prelude from Dark Horse, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi – Knights of the Old Republic (1994) launched the epic saga set thousands of years before the films. Written by Tom Veitch with art by David Roach and Janine Johnston, this issue introduced the ancient Sith Lord Exar Kun and the Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma, laying the groundwork for the sprawling Tales of the Jedi series. It remains a foundational piece of the Old Republic era, expanding the Star Wars mythos with its deep-space Jedi and Sith lore.
