One of the best parts of the Star Wars prequels was Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu. His brief appearance left many unanswered questions about his character.

Now Marvel will hopefully answer a few of those questions in the upcoming Star Wars: Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu.

The five issue series will hit comic book shops in August. It is being written by Matt Owens and illustrated by Denys Cowan.

For over a thousand generations, the Jedi have been the peacekeepers of the galaxy…but now, at the dawn of the Clone Wars, they find themselves in a new role: generals in the Army of the Republic. As Mace Windu, one of the Jedi’s greatest warriors, leads a small unit of Jedi into battle shortly after the war begins, the Jedi must make peace with their new role, or be lost to the violence around them!

So are you interested in reading about Mace Windu’s adventures during the Clone Wars?
