Random fun fact of the day - women are the reason #StarWars #publishing exists. And the reason it has been so successful that it could endure as it has for so many decades.

(I'm an expert on this stuff)

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Some books are just meant to be, ya know? Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong. ✨
Cover reveal for STAR WARS LEGACY with Leia, Rey and Kylo Ren • Set between Episodes VIlI and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi. After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed: Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch, when she herself is unsure of the way? But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia. Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete.As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst: With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

[SHIP THREAD] It's worth making a short dive into the story of the Racing starfighter Fireball 🔥

A design created for Resistance (2018-2020) by a Star Wars and ILM legend, inspired by a well-known aircraft, and who will take part in the final live-action battle against Palpatine. 1/15

Speaking of talking like a pirate! While the excellent Pirate’s Price audiobook is read by Hondo Ohnaka in-character, the (ex) pirate I'd actually most want to hear talking is former Warbird, Synara San!

We’ve seen “Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past” and it’s just as brilliant, if not better, than season one as the Star Wars humor, witty one-liners, and LEGO zaniness fire on all cylinders. This story is so dang endearing.

More to come! #RebuildTheGalaxy

Brad and Sarah have worked so hard to keep up with doing comprehensive High Republic coverage over the past few years, interviewing authors and reviewing all the major book releases (everything but the comics, maybe?). Brad's work ethic wears me out just thinking about it. Good Destiny player, too.
