Ever since I heard Lando’s line in TROS, “Luke and I were tailing a Jedi hunter…” I’ve wanted that story to be told. I’m glad we’re finally getting it. Most looking forward to ‘Shadow of the Sith’!

Great to hear that Jake Bartok has been employed to contribute to Stories of Jedi and Sith as well. He’s a fantastic artist.

“Remember, the Force will be with you. Always.”

Shadow of the Sith sounds like it has the potential to address a lot of the issues I had with TROS, I’m really looking forward to it.

EDIT: here’s the full description for anyone who doesn’t feel like clicking the above link:

Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

The Empire is dead. Nearly two decades on from the Battle of Endor, the tattered remnants of Palpatine’s forces have fled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss are ever-present companions, even in this newly forged era of peace.

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable…and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend, Lando Calrissian, comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.

After his daughter was stolen from his arms, Lando searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. But every new rumor only led to dead ends and fading hopes–until he crossed paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl.

Ochi’s true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. For on a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has bequeathed a sacred blade to the assassin, promising that it will give him answers to the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, he must complete a final mission: return to Exegol with the key to the Sith’s glorious rebirth—the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself, Rey.

As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the mystery of the Sith’s lingering shadow and aid a young family running for their lives.

“…a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal…”

This is interesting. Thrawn maybe?

Sounds like a tie in film prequel novel years too late for Rise of Skywalker. I’ll probably still read it though.

I’ve already pre-ordered Shadow of the Sith. Not sure about the others. I already have a “need to read” stack on my nightstand and more High Republic novels on the way. I’ll get to it all eventually.

Less than a month to go for the “The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two)” book!

I really hope it is as good as the season 1 book and we also see more concept and early alternative images

I preordered it when the release date was December. Kept it even though they moved it back. I loved the fist one. Can’t wait to get this one!
