A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Some books are just meant to be, ya know? Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong. ✨
Cover reveal for STAR WARS LEGACY with Leia, Rey and Kylo Ren •
Set between Episodes VIlI and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.
After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed: Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch, when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia.
Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete.As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst: With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

It's a great book, so yes, absolutely!

If it was Lucasfilm's decision to remove her from the book, yes, but somehow I think that's unlikely. More likely, she was no longer up for it. (Or, third option, the cover they uploaded was erroneous and the foreword is still intact. Time will tell...)

Goldsboro have also got their own edition of #MasterOfEvil. goldsborobooks.com/products/sta...

Which one do you prefer?

The US release of that book was in May 2001. The German edition was first announced for 2006, but then ended up being cancelled. It was ultimately published in January 2012.

Star Wars Icons: Vader has been pushed back to April 2026, becoming one of the longest running gags in Star Wars publishing history, maybe only eclipsed by the German edition of Cloak of Deception.

Correction: Nov. 11 is release; they take payment on the 7th

Also, sorry for being AWOL for a while. Took a much-needed Star Wars break and will try to resume posting the stuff I find. (This account is only meant to complement official news etc., not to re-post what everyone else is posting anyway, so as usual, expect a narrower focus.)

(The manga is already available in some markets - outside of Japan, the one I know of is Germany.)

The November wave of the #StarWarsLegends Essential Collection. Let's hope Inkstone does some hardcovers of these, because at least in my book (or rather, for my books) HC > PB. But if PBs are your thing, here you go.

Looks like @iucounu.bsky.social's Galactic Atlas (a book I've always appreciated a lot) is being revamped by Studio Press, with new pages and updates by Paddy Kempshall and returning illustrator Tim McDonagh. UK release, per Amazon, is October 2025. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D4V2P2K5

This TPB has also been retitled STAR WARS: NEW REPUBLIC. Somehow, we're not confident this series will go past issue #10 with a naming scheme and TPB release like that.

Well this is intriguing. The original solicit for Jan. 6's #StarWars (Vol. 4) TPB collecting issues 1-6 has been removed, for now, but over at Amazon and Target, it's now due out either in May or June and is going to collect the series' first 10 issues.
