Star Wars: The Old Republic Begins Today

...in comic books. The first chapter in Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars: The Old Republic prequel story hit store shelves today.

With a first storyline titled "Threat of Peace," the comic is meant to build up some of the storylines that players will be experiencing in the upcoming game from BioWare. If you'd rather not risk a trip to the comic shop (and the $2.99 price tag on the book), you can also check out the full issue on the Old Republic website.
