So this new comic series is starting up soon. Preview issue #0 came out on the 1st of this month, and issue #1 is on shelves next week.
I'm rather looking forward to it. There's some interesting and rather Star Wars-y tantalizing even just in the preview issue.
For the uninitiated: Dawn of the Jedi is a new ongoing comic series that's set even before the birth of the Republic, 25,000 years before the films. It's set on Tython--the Jedi starting planet in The Old Republic, and tells the story of the earliest Force users in the galaxy.
Some points of interest in the Issue #0:

Some points of interest in the Issue #0:
- 36,000 years before the films, the mysterious Tho Yor ships scoured the galaxy, collecting Force-sensitives and bringing them back to the Force-rich world Tython. Notice anything interesting about the ships? Don't they bear a rather striking resemblance to the Mortis monolith from last year's Mortis Clone Wars trilogy?
- there are structures on Tython which were ancient ruins when the first of the Force-sensitives arrived
- the earliest establishment of the order of the Force wielders is the Je'daii Order
- the Je'daii are a force neither for light nor darkness, they strive for balance in the sense that many of the EU fans have always took it to mean
- the light and the dark are represented by Tython's two moons, Ashla and Bogan. Falling too far to the dark or the light results in exile to one of the two moons to contemplate proper balance, before being accepted back into the Order
