Two years ago Dark Horse Comics experimented in the e-comic digital format, Dark Horse Mobile. Produced by THQ, selected Star Wars titles were exclusively available from iTunes as full-story collection apps for Apple iOS products (iPod, iPhone, etc); however last year, with THQ's license expiring, Dark Horse Comics took production of e-comics in-house and created their own digital store that allows users to purchase not only full-story collections but also individual comic book issues (previously unavailable from THQ/iTunes) or complete story collections and be able to read them on not only iOS products but also on any modern web browser. Since its launch earlier this year, the Dark Horse Digital store has been noticeable in its absence of Star Wars titles - until now - as from today a selected number of Star Wars comics including the popular Legacy: War mini-series as well as Knights of the Old Republic (issues #1 thru #6) are now available in digital form from the Dark Horse Digital store.
The complete list of available titles is:

• Legacy: War (issues #1 thru #6)
• Crimson Empire (issues #1 thru #6)
• Darth Vader & the Lost Command (issues #1 thru #5)
• Episode IV: A New Hope (issues #1 thru #6)
• Jedi: The Dark Side (issue #1)
• Knight Errant: Aflame (issues #1 thru #5)
• Knights of the Old Republic (issues #1 thru #6)
• The Clone Wars (issues #1 thru #9)
• The Old Republic (issues #1 thru #6)

StarWars.com has revealed the cover for the third The Old Republic tie-in novel Revan:

There’s something out there: a juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it.
Revan: hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares and deep, abiding fear.
What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t quite remember, yet can’t entirely forget. Somehow he stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the Republic. With no idea what it is, or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he’s never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. But only death can stop him from trying.

Written by Drew Karpyshyn, author of the Darth Bane trilogy, Revan is due to be released in hardback on 15th November (US & UK).

StarWars.com has posted a short excerpt (PDF) from the first chapter of Paul S. Kemp's upcoming novel Riptide. Riptide is the sequel to Kemp's 2010 novel Crosscurrent and in this follow-up story sees Jedi Knight Jaden Korr pursue the Force-capable clones that were secretly created by Imperial scientists. But what Korr doesn't know is that Sith agents are hot on his heels, determined not only to recover the clones for their Master but to capture Jaden for their own dark-side purposes. In a life-or-death battle, Jaden will confront a shocking reality that will rock him to his core and bring him face-to-face with the question of what makes a man... and a Jedi.

Riptide is due for release in paperback in the US on 25th October and early November in the UK.

In their latest solicitations, Dark Horse Comics has announced the following Star Wars comics for October / November and upcoming graphic novel collections including tie-ins for next year's 3-D theatrical release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

StarWars.com has revealed the cover for James Luceno's much anticipated Darth Plagueis novel and a reminder of the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise:

Once, not so long ago, there was a great Sith Lord called Darth Plagueis. So powerful and wise was Darth Plagueis he could even manipulate the Force to create life or stop death in others. Ironically, such a powerful being could not prevent his own death, for in the way of the Sith, Plagueis was killed in his sleep by his apprentice.

Darth Plagueis is due to be released in hardback in the US on 27th December and in the UK on 5th January 2012.

>>>Luke Skywalker leads a desperate all-out assault against the new face of Darkness: the Lost Tribe of the Sith. The future of Coruscant, and of the Galactic Alliance, hangs in the balance. But victory is far from certain. Luke and his Jedi Order will be tested as never before and the galaxy will never be the same again.<<<

Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse by Troy Denning is due for release in hardback in the US on 3rd April 2012 and one month later in the UK.

According to Random House the hardback edition of Apocalypse will also contain an "extensive excerpt of book one of next Star Wars series". LucasBooks' editor, Sue Rostoni, has already intimated that they are not planning any more multi-title series like Fate of the Jedi, so this "next series" would either be the first title in a new trilogy, like Troy Denning's Dark Nest trilogy that follow the 19-book New Jedi Order series; or a duology, like Paul S. Kemp's Crosscurrent and Riptide titles that follow the 9-book Legacy of the Force series.
