Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi

Set millennia before the films, Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi (2012–2014) from Dark Horse explores the earliest origins of the Jedi Order. Written by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema, who also provided the artwork, this three-issue series introduces the Je’daii, Force-wielders on the planet Tython who balance both the light and dark sides. It matters as a foundational saga that expands the Star Wars mythology far beyond the Skywalker era, offering a unique glimpse into the Force's ancient history.
