“The Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker publishing program is our biggest and boldest film tie-in program yet.

We’ve got exceptionally talented authors, artists, and publishers creating content for fans of all ages. While these titles will include some hints and Easter eggs for the new film, the majority of these titles will feature all-new stories set following the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
