While Star Wars Celebration\u2019s main focus might be the film and TV arms of the franchise, Lucasfilm Publishing has built up its own dedicated fan base with its tie-in novels, including the High Republic initiative<\/a>. After kicking off<\/a> in January 2021, the era is wrapping up soon with the June release of the final book in its third phase, Charles Soule\u2019s Trials of the Jedi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what lies ahead for Star Wars readers? Lucasfilm Publishing\u2019s Star Wars Celebration panel, \u201cStories From a Galaxy Far, Far Away\u201d was a good place to start for some answers. The Tokyo panel teased \u201cthe latest publishing news from the prequel trilogy to the sequel trilogy and beyond, including news on the grand finale of The High Republic,\u201d with Adam Christopher, Tessa Gratton, Marc Guggenheim, Lydia Kang, Ethan Sacks, Phil Szostak, Alyssa Wong, and Marvel\u2019s C.B. Cebulski on hand to make the announcements.<\/p>\n

The biggest reveal was something on the more visual side: an Andor art book is coming!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the description from the official press release: \u201cThe Art of Star Wars: Andor (The Complete Series) takes fans behind the scenes of the critically acclaimed Disney+ Star Wars series set in the early days of the Rebellion and following Rogue One\u2018s Cassian Andor as he grows from thief to rebel spy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInterviews conducted by The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian author and Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szostak with Academy Award-nominated showrunner\/head writer Tony Gilroy, Lucasfilm art department \u2018visualists,\u2019 and key crew and creatives will give an in depth look at every facet of the creative process that brought this unique Star Wars story to the screen. With hundreds of stunning ship and vehicle designs, character studies, weapons, gadgets, storyboards, and so much more, this book is the ultimate visual companion to Andor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bad news is that The Art of Star Wars: Andor will set you back $50, and won\u2019t be out until March 2026.<\/p>\n

The panel today also included more discussion of the final High Republic book<\/a>,\u00a0Trials of the Jedi, mentioned above. Other new titles announced: comics Star Wars: The High Republic \u2013 The Battle of Eriadu and Star Wars: The High Republic \u2013 The Beacon; the Jecki and Yord-focused Padawan adventure The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown; another art book, Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation; and comics Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories \u2013 Codebreaker, for Poe Dameron fans; and new issues of Star Wars: Legacy of Vader; and Star Wars: Jedi Knights.<\/p>\n

Last week, ahead of the panel itself, Lucasfilm Publishing dropped some early news<\/a> about upcoming releases\u2014including Adam Christopher\u2019s Star Wars: Master of Evil Darth Vader novel<\/a>; lavish two-volume art book Doug Chiang: The Cinematic Legacy and the Star Wars Legacy; Halloween-themed Star Wars: I Find Your Lack of Candy Disturbing, featuring art by Jeffrey Brown; and Disney+ behind-the-scenes deep dives The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte and The Acolyte Visual Guide. Other previously announced releases include an updated new edition of Star Wars: The Blueprints, as well as an updated new edition of Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all! At another Lucasfilm Publishing panel earlier in the day, \u201cManga Mania!\u201d, the company also shared what\u2019s coming from that arm of the company. That includes a Kickstarter initiative for a two-volume The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope\u2014The Manga; manga adaptations of Star Wars: Thrawn and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order; and aspiring Jedi tale Star Wars: Path of the Lightsaber.<\/p>\n
