- Lucasfilm Publishing creative director Michael Siglain: This started way back when. This was an idea that I always wanted to do with Star Wars publishing, in that I wanted to tell a massive story, told across multiple formats over multiple years, for every type of fan. So if you’re only reading a Del Rey novel or you’re only reading a Marvel comic, you’re getting one piece of the story. But if you’re a core fan and you’re reading a Del Rey novel and a YA novel and a Marvel comic, you’re getting a much bigger part of the story. You’re getting the whole picture. It’s not as if it’s one story aged down or up depending upon format, there’s not one “A” story. Every one of these stories is the “A” story, and then they combine together into a massive, massive story.
- A disaster in Soule’s story (Out Aug 25th) will ripple out through the other storytelling as the galaxy reacts, Siglain says.
- Soule’s story will kick off a hallmark of the initiative: delving into one event that will connect to the larger story as a whole told through multiple books and comics. The creators note that readers will be able to pick up anywhere, but those who want to immerse themselves in the lore will get a more robust experience from seeing it all unfold in tandem. Claudia Gray, who will pen Into the Dark, hopes this is just the start of something even bigger. “I’ve really loving the characters that I’m getting to play with,” she says. “And I hope I’m going to be able to follow these characters longer and spend more time with them.” She’s also thrilled to see the magic unfold through the array of new stories, a project that when taken together will tell the story of an all-new era in Star Wars lore. “The biggest challenge has been working through all the good ideas to find ones that were actually going to stick,” she says. “They all need to harmonize.”
Boba’s Bounty:
Riley: I Am C3PO book
- This is a memoir of two people, a man and a droid, their relationship, and their place in the Star Wars. See-Threepio became real because of actor Anthony Daniels’ efforts and vision for the lurching, golden protocol droid.
Mark – General Kenobi Black Series
- This is an action figure, from the black series line, but hot damn is he a beauty. And it has the likeness of Ewan McGreggor!
