NYCC 2019 Lucasfilm Publishing Panel- New Thrawn Trilogy and More Stories From A Galaxy Far, Far Away Revealed
With NYCC 2019 upon us, we expect some exciting news from the Lucasfilm Publishing panel happening this afternoon. Our own John Hoey and Lacey Gilleran are on the ground to cover the news as it unfolds from this panel. Authors expected to be in attendance: Cavan Scott (Dooku: Lost Jedi), George Mann (Star Wars: Myths & Fables), Katie Cook (Journey to The Rise of Skywalker Coloring Book), Zoraida Córdova (A Crash of Fate), and Charles Soule (Darth Vader).
