Star Wars out this week: Jedi the Last
Star Wars out this week: #50 for Marvel’s flagship title
We’ve got one book, two new comics and a reprint this week. The book-only version of Dan Wallace’s The Rebel Files is out on Tuesday, July 3 (at least per Amazon – we’ll see). We’ve also got several comics coming on Wednesday, July 4, including Star Wars #50 (with a Terry Dodson variant), The Last Jedi #4 and Star Wars volume 3 in hardcover, collecting #26-30, #33-37 and Annual #2-3.
How to get the (two!) SDCC exclusive versions of Thrawn: Alliances
Del Rey’s Unbound Worlds blog has the details on how you can score the two exclusive versions of Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Alliances that they’ll be bringing to San Diego Comic Con next month. The first is a signed hardcover version that comes with a new cover, a pin and a tote bag. The second is the audiobook version, which features an exclusive conversation between Zahn and narrator Marc Thompson, as well a collector’s tin, numbered and signed card, and the same pin as the hardcover.
Either version will cost you $45. Del Rey will be using a wristband system again, with separate wristbands for each edition.
Fans at the con will also be getting the book slightly early: SDCC is held July 19-22, while the standard editions go on sale July 24.
Thrawn meets Anakin in new Thrawn: Alliances excerpt
StarWars.com has a new excerpt from Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Alliances, featuring the first meeting between Anakin Skywalker and Thrawn. The article also debuts artwork that will cover the San Diego Comic Con exclusive edition of the book.
SDCC is held July 19-22; the standard edition of the book will be out on July 24.
A previous excerpt featured Thrawn, Vader and the Emperor.
Star Wars out this week: Lando, Aphra

Coming up we have The Rebel Files (July 3) by Daniel Wallace, William Shakespeare’s Jedi the Last (July 10) by Ian Doescher and Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Alliances (July 24).
Marvel’s Poe ongoing ends in September
Marvel’s Poe Dameron ongoing is due to end with issue #31 in September, per that month’s solicitations.
“In this final chapter of the POE DAMERON series, we see what may be BLACK SQUADRON’S last mission, as they desperately attempt to find allies for GENERAL LEIA ORGANA’S decimated RESISTANCE,” the blurb says. So perhaps we’ll see what the “missing” pilots from The Force Awakens were up to during the events of The Last Jedi?
“This is about the story ending in a nice, tidy place based on everything else happening” in Star Wars, writer Charles Soule tweeted.
Star Wars out this (and last) week
We’ve got one comic and one collection coming out on Wednesday, June 20, plus two comics from last week. (Since I missed last week’s release post… Hey, JadeCon.) This week brings Poe Dameron #28 and Star Wars Adventures Volume 3. Already in stores are Thrawn #5 and Darth Vader #17
Out this week: Star Wars, The Last Jedi comics
Three comics are coming on Wednesday, June 6. From Marvel, there’s Star Wars #49 and The Last Jedi #3, while IDW has Star Wars Adventures #11.
We’re clear out on books until July, but there is a pre-order link now for Amy Ratcliffe’s Women of the Galaxy, which is out in October.
