Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The preorder page for Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Treason is up now, which means we have a solid release date: July 23. You can preorder from a variety of stores via Random House, or via our Amazon link to help support hosting costs.
The book, a direct sequel to Thrawn and Thrawn: Alliances – the first non-adaptation adult Star Wars novel to be a #1 NYT bestseller since Heir to the Empire – was announced last week.
Three new comics and a trade collection are dropping on Wednesday, December 12. The Age of Republic series continues with Darth Maul, then there’s Doctor Aphra #27 and Han Solo: Imperial Cadet #2. Then Star Wars Volume 9 collects #50-55 of the ongoing, along with the series’ Annual #4.

The apparent replacement for the Chuck Wendig Shadow of Vader series has been announced: Vader: Dark Visions. Marvel fired Wendig in October for being “too vulgar, too political” on Twitter and canceled the book last month.
The new limited new series is written by Dennis Hopeless with art from Paolo Villanelli and Brian Level. The first issue is due in March.

Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Treason is due in the summer of 2019. This time, both Emperor Palpatine and Orson Krennic are in play. Check under the cut for the blurb and full cover.
The author lineup for Celebration Chicago is growing, adding E.K. Johnston, Justina Ireland and Zoraida Córdova. They join an already impressive list which includes Timothy Zahn, Delilah Dawson, and Claudia Gray.
Gray and Johnston both have new Star Wars books coming out in the spring: Johnston’s Padme YA novel Queen’s Shadow is out March 5, while Gray’s Master and Apprentice is due April 16, just after the con, so we can likely expect a convention exclusive version.
Celebration Chicago is being held April 11-15, 2019 at McCormick Place.
This Wednesday, December 5 brings three new comics and a trade. Marvel is launching Age of Republic: Qui-Gon Jinn #1, the first of a 30-issue series that will eventually evolve into Age of Rebellion and (as we approach Episode IX) Age of Resistance. There’s also Star Wars #58 and Poe Dameron Volume 5. And from IDW, Destroyer Down #2.
One new book, one reprint and a brand new comic are coming to stores this week. Out Tuesday, November 27 is Millennium Falcon: Owners’ Workshop Manual by Ryder Windham, Chris Reiff and Chris Trevas, as well as the paperback edition of Jason Fry’s The Last Jedi novelization. Fry has been tweeting some behind-the-scenes info about writing the book.
On Wednesday, November 28, we get Darth Vader #24, the second-to-last issue of the ongoing.
Just two comics coming on Wednesday, November 21: Star Wars #57 (the solicitation is very excited about “Shirtless HAN SOLO, chopping wood,” which I guess explains the American Gothic riff on the cover) and Solo #2, both from Marvel.
Two brand new comics are coming to stores on Wednesday, November 14 – Darth Vader #23 and Doctor Aphra #26.
Although there are no doubt plenty more comics coming, we’re down to only two books for the rest of the year- The Last Jedi novelization in paperback and the Millennium Falcon: Owners’ Workshop Manual will both be out on the 27th. Look ahead with our book release schedule.
We’ve got two books, plus three brand new comics and three trade collections coming out Wednesday, November 7.
In stores today is the paperback edition of Leia: Princess of Alderaan and The Star Wars Archives: 1977-1983.
Debuting are new minis Han Solo: Imperial Cadet #1 and Destroyer Down #1, along with Star Wars #56.
In the trades, we have the complete Lando: Double or Nothing miniseries, Marvel’s complete The Last Jedi adaptation and Star Wars Adventures Volume 4.
