Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi – Knights of the Old Republic is a compilation in graphic novel form, bringing together the five individual issues of the limited series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. Initially, it was published under the title Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi – The Collection and featured identical cover artwork, with the exception that "The Collection" was positioned immediately below the "Tales of the Jedi" logo, instead of being located at the cover's base. This edition also contained reproductions of the original comic book covers.
Set four millennia prior to Luke Skywalker's emergence as the last Jedi, this volume explores the journeys of earlier Jedi, each contributing to maintaining order and resisting the dark side's influence. This 136-page compilation centers around Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider, two youthful initiates undergoing training to become Jedi warriors. Their instruction takes an unexpected turn, becoming a baptism of fire as they are forced to confront Great Bogga, a powerful Hutt crime boss responsible for the death of a highly influential Jedi Knight.
