20 New Star Wars Books Coming In Lead Up To Episode VII
EW.com has posted an exclusive article revealing that there are 20+ books coming this year in the lead up to The Force Awakens.
At least 20 new books—from novels for adults and teens to storybooks and stickerbooks for younger kids—will be released this fall to fill the gap between 1983’s Return of the Jedi and this December’s The Force Awakens, EW has learned exclusively.
What to Expect with The Black Series?
Our good friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted some details regarding what we may expect to see in terms of which 3.75″ figures will be seeing higher production runs than others (i.e., which individual figures will be offered as full case assortments to online stores, etc.).
Some of this sounds like good news to fill demand on certain figures, while there’s also a couple of figures that just don’t make sense to see high production runs (such as Dutch Vander).
Personal Note: That last assortment case that’s full of new figures, such as Carbonite Han, Boushh Leia, new Jawas, and of course Mosep has me concerned. Will this assortment even hit retail? Will it be in very short supply? Check out JTA’s report and be sure to share your thoughts there or in our forums.
