So much of Star Wars is about trilogies, and that is certainly true of E.K. Johnston's novels about Padmé Amidala. It was announced yesterday that Johnston is returning to write the beloved character in the book Queen's Hope, which will release on November 2, 2021.

A massive new Star Wars publishing initiative began at the start of 2021, as we were taken to the brand new era of The High Republic, set 200 years before the Skywalker Saga.

There's a very simple axiom that may as well be started amongst Star Wars fans: if Claudia Gray writes it, it's going to be great. Gray's first four Star Wars novels have all been fantastic and are, in my opinion, each among my very favorite books from the new canon: Lost Stars, Bloodline, Leia: Princess [...]

Boba Fett is back! When last we saw him he was falling to his presumed death in the sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi - that is, until his appearance in The Mandalorian revealed that he survived it. What they didn't reveal, however, was how. We first saw that he survived in Chapter 9, [...]
