Star Wars: The Old Republic is a comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics. It is set to tie into the Star Wars: The Old Republic massively multiplayer roleplaying online game by LucasArts and BioWare.

The 2009 hit film , directed by J.J. Abrams, was essentially a re-start of the original five-year mission, for which IDW Publishing laid the groundwork for the story in the four-issue prequel comics series, (the complete miniseries is also posted here on Avax by bigsid--just search for it). Written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones, and based on a story by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, Countdown introduced the character Nero and also spanned the gap between and the Enterprise’s earliest voyages in Star Trek. One of the biggest questions fans have about the Star Trek movie is "What was Nero doing for 25 years?" because the time between the attack on the USS Kelvin and the arrival of Spock and the Jellyfish is left blank. Well, Star Trek: Nero will fill in that gap, with the same creative team behind Countdown. It is considered part of the ongoing rebirth of the Star Trek franchise for which IDW Publishing is playing an active part.

is the continuation of the comic series that brings readers back to the events in the previous Red Star Trade Paperback, 'Prison of Souls'. With unforgettable pencils by multiple Eisner nominee Christian Gossett and extraordinary digital painting by the world famous Weta Workshop Design Team of New Zealand (known for their film work on The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, King Kong, and The Chronicles of Narnia), this series and graphic novel not only continues the adventures of the Skyfurnace Konstantinov, it also takes readers back into the time of the Great Revolution, to the origin of The Red Star saga. This run is currently on issue #3. Issue #3 premiered at Comicon International San Diego 2008. Perhaps this tells you volumes about the quality of this title and series: nobody seems to mind the wait for issues #4 and #5. I do not mind, either.
