Dark Horse Original Announcement: Special announcement for Star Wars Friday! Next week we will be debuting images of a brand-new series, featuring one of the most beloved-characters in the universe. The series will be written by a well-known creator who hasn't worked within the universe for a few years, and will be drawn by an artist coming to Dark Horse for the first time. Any guesses as to what it will be?

QUOTE (Randy Stradley)

I feel the need for a disclaimer coming on here. Please be advised, I was not consulted on the "beloved" wording. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I'm betting "beloved" not the word that will come to mind for the majority of fans when they find out who it is. For some it will be, sure. But for most -- though they may love the character -- other words will seem more appropriate.

You'll see.

So maybe not so beloved of a character. I went from excited it might be something fun to fearing this is JarJar. Wanna bet a total fanboy wrote that original announcement. This should be interesting.

We discussed that...recently...in some thread...somewhere... -------------------- The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand. "Catching Fire"

Now I'm betting Imperial...or Mando -------------------- �Bones is heading into its 7th year & there comes a point where you put up or shut up...You can�t extend that tension that long without your fans breaking." ~ Castle's creator

Scrubs: Banner Artist Group: Wraiths Posts: 9,043 Member No.: 60 Joined: 14-February 06	I think Wedge truly is "beloved", so he doesn't count. You may be right, though. It probably isn't Lando - I just threw him out there because I can't think of anyone/thing else. -------------------- The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand. "Catching Fire"

Lex Group: Moderator Posts: 9,402 Member No.: 2 Joined: 18-November 05	So yesterday when I went to the comic shop to buy Legacy War #2, I got there about 4:00 and got the last copy of Legacy they had. But there were six copies of Darth Vader and the Lost Command #1 still sitting there. Good job, Dark Horse. -------------------- "Okay, if you're going to question the importance of an actor's signature on a plastic helmet from a movie based on a comic book, then all of our lives have no meaning." ~ The Big Bang Theory

I've always liked him. -------------------- �Bones is heading into its 7th year & there comes a point where you put up or shut up...You can�t extend that tension that long without your fans breaking." ~ Castle's creator
