During New York Comic Con, Lucasfilm announced a series of Star Wars books and comics slated for release in 2027, the franchise’s 50th anniversary year, according to Gizmodo.

What happened

The publishing announcements were made on the convention floor, highlighting releases that align with the upcoming live‑action film "Star Wars: Starfighter" and a re‑release of "A New Hope." Titles include an "Art Of" book by Phil Szostak, a visual dictionary by Pablo Hidalgo, a novelization by Delilah Dawson, and several children’s books such as "Rumble with the Rock Pirate" and "Outer Rim Outcast." A Target‑exclusive edition of "Star Wars: A Celebration" by Pablo Hidalgo and Anthony Breznican will also be issued. Additionally, a special edition of the original shooting script, annotated by George Lucas, was revealed.

What the reports add

Gizmodo notes that cover art for the new "Starfighter" books will not be shown until closer to the film’s May 2027 release. The outlet also points out that the "Ahsoka — Escape From Thrawn #1" comic, co‑written by Dave Filoni, will serve as a lead‑in to the second season of the "Ahsoka" series.
