Welcome, folks, to "Star Wars Comic Update"! Pretty much, in this thread, I will inform you of upcoming and newly released comics, and maybe some insider info on what Dark Horse has in store for Star Wars!
First up: Republic #82. This came out Jan. 18. It's part 2 of 3 of the story arc called "The Hidden Enemy". It's also the second to the last issue of Republic, which ends with #83. Mainly, #82 deals with the end of the Battle of Kashyyyk and the beginnings of Order 66, and how Jedi Master Quinlan Vos handles it. #83 will ultimately decide his fate.
If you're wondering why the Republic and Empire series are ending, it's because of new beginnings and Dark Horse's 20th anniversary. They're going out with the old, and in with the new! Empire is going to be replaced by a series of mini-series called Rebellion, and Republic gives way to Knights of the Old Republic. In fact, the first issue of KotOR is coming out next week! Check it out!

Well, today, new comics came out!
First is Empire #39. It's part 4 of 5 in the "Wrong Side of the War" saga, and the second-to-last issue of Empire, before being replaced by Rebellion. A very powerful saga so far. If you haven't been reading Empire, go get "Wrong Side of the War". Of course, this saga might get a bit confusing, so go find the three part "To the Last Man" and the 5-6 part "In the Shadows of Their Fathers." Those will catch you up to speed.
Next we have Republic #83, which so happens to be the last issue of Republic. EVER. Will Quinlan Vos live or die? If you pick this comic up before Friday, DON'T TELL ME THE ENDING! 
Finally, the Star Wars Comic Companion is finally out! This book contains art from the comics, as well as summaries and info on all the comics published by Dark Horse!
That's it for this week!
