Welcome to the extended bonus edition of the podcast! Today, we’re focused on three particular areas, some more so that others.
First off, here are the photos from The Force Awakens exhibit at #SWCA!
As for the news coming out of Star Wars Celebration today, here are the highlights. Listen to the podcast to get the in-depth story!
1. There was bit of comic news related to The Force Awakens, which is that the adaptation won’t be coming until 2016.
2. Alan Dean Foster has been tapped for the novelization of The Force Awakens. It’ll release as an ebook on 12/18/15, and in tangible form (with goodies – possibly of extra images from the movie) in January 2016.
3. According to the Del Rey panel, 6-7 of the books releasing on September 4th will bear on the canon and prepare the Journey to The Force Awakens.
4. Aftermath is one of those books, and in October, Tarkin and A New Dawn will be bundled into a volume called “Rise of the Empire,” which will also feature short stories, too. One of those will bear directly on Aftermath, or so we’re told. By Del Rey and Lucasfilm. 🙂
So there you go! What do you think about all of this? Have your say in the comments!
