As first revealed on today’s Star Wars Show, we have the cover for the last book in Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath trilogy. Due in January, Empire’s End has been long-expected to deal with the Battle of Jakku – thus the flaming Star Destroyer, no doubt.
A bit closer (next Tuesday) is the second book, Life Debt. And if one buys the special edition from Barnes & Noble, it comes with a pair of posters featuring the Millennium Falcon and breakout character Mr. Bones.
Wait, didn’t we get some coverage of Jakku in “Lost Stars”?
We did see some of the Battle of Jakku in “Lost Stars” and in the Jakku content in Battlefront, but perhaps not the whole picture and how it all shook out.
Yeah, it’s not that this will be our first look at the battle, but that we’ll get to see it from a different perspective with the Aftermath folks. (Temmin/Snap mentions being there in the Poe Dameron comic.) Plus now that we’re post-TFA it’s more likely we’ll get a glimpse of major movie characters here than we did in Lost Stars, be it in an interlude or elsewhere.
