Release Dates

[DarthSolo]

I think there needs to be a thread dedicated to release dates of future books and comics. I used to have a website that seemed to be pretty accurate, but reviewing it lately, it's completely missing the Legacy comic series. So, I thought we could pool our energies and come up with a good database for when stuff is coming out, or at least give some links.

Right now, all I know for sure is that Legacy of the Force: Betrayal is due out May 30, 2006.

[eddie]

Oh wow, let me jump right in here to plug my site's release-date schedule (including books (both fiction and non-fiction), as well as comics... It has links to sources and interviews and stuff...

Just click the Books and Comics Release Schedule from the main page (and let me know what you think of my little effort...)

www.starwarstimeline.com

[DarthSolo]

I would let you know, but when I click on the Release Schedule, it says URL not found or something.... Sorry!

[eddie]

Okiday, try this one instead:

http://www.starwarstimeline.com/sources%20-%20upcoming.htm

[DarthSolo]

Looks quite good! There are a lot of wierd things on there, though, that I've not heard of. Revenge of the Clone Menace?

[smudger9]

Looking forward to the death star book. The Timothy Zahn book Allegiance, is this the novel set between ANH and ESB that I've heard rumours of???

[eddie]

From the Random House interview with Timothy Zahn:

Q:Are you working on anything else in the Star Wars universe?

TZ: I’m just finishing my eighth Star Wars book, Allegiance. It fits into the timeline a short time after A New Hope, which means Luke is not yet a Jedi, but Mara Jade is firmly ensconced in her position as the Emperor’s Hand.

edit: is it a good idea if I put up a short list of upcoming thingies in this thread and update it on a weekly (or so) basis (just like I do for my website?)

[DarthSolo]

That would be fantasmic.

[Master Magnus]

Great effort, Eddie!

[eddie]

^ Hope you like... :)

[Tarkin the Ewok]

That is a great schedule, eddie! I learned about a few projects from it: the 3 X-Wing collections, the Tales of the Jedi omnibus, and the Episodes I-III sheet music.

Do you mind if I use your schedule to highlight the current and upcoming book releases on my radio show (with appropriate recognition, of course)?

[eddie]

Use away!

I will update the schedule when new info comes available...

[Master Magnus]

^Great Eddie! Keep up the good work!

[mirax terrik horn]

*sigh* I hope I have enough money. Great job Eddie.

[DarthSolo]

Thanks eddie. You rock!

[eddie]

:D

The list above has been updated with release-dates for Empire Volumes 6 and 7, the addition of the Rebellion collection (all Dark Horse), and a modified publication-date of Star Wars Legacy Book 4: Exile (from March 2007 to late February 2007)...

[Master Magnus]

Excellent Eddie!

[eddie]

Thank you, oh greatest of Moderators (at least, one of them... :) )

[eddie]

Update April 19:

Alas, the Clone Wars Adventure Volume 5 has been pushed back a week from April 19 to April 26

And the Japanese book-series Star Wars Action Figure Database (of which I today received Volume 1: 1978 - 1985) will consist of 6 books to be published in 2006 (with book 2 coming out on April 28).

[Master Magnus]

A big THANK YOU to eddie for doing a marvellous job with the upcoming release schedule.

If anyone learns about new releases, changed dates or spots any omissions from the Books and Comics Release Schedule (http://www.galacticsenate.com/index.php?showtopic=16951) thread, please report it in this thread.

[eddie]

Small update:

The Japanese Star Wars Action Figure Database Vol. 2 has been pushed back from April 28 to May 31, 2006

Added for September 25 is the Dark Horse collection Dark Empire II (2nd Edition) which will also include the two issues of Empire's End

[Master Magnus]

^Thanks eddie! The release schedule has been updated.

[eddie]

Star Wars Legacy # 0 has been moved from the end of May 17 to June 14.

And the next (newsstand) edition of Star Wars Insider will appear on June 12, 2006...

[Master Magnus]

^Great! Thanks!

Is that Insider #89?

[eddie]

Nope, that will be # 88...

[Master Magnus]

*Checks latest Insider.* Silly me. :p

BOOOOOOO! Kill the messenger! :p

[eddie]

AAaaarrrghhhhhhh....


:)


edit: by the way, did I really type "from the end of May 17". That's weird...

[Master Magnus]

Well, it's less than a month.

[DarthSolo]

eddie, I've noticed that in the list on the sticky topic (thanks Magnus! great idea) Legacy #1 is set to come out a week before Legacy #0. What's goin on here?

[Master Magnus]

^If there's a mistake, you'll have to blame me as it is I who edits that thread. :D Thanks for pointing that out, I'll check it out!

EDIT: Hmm, those are the dates reported by Dark Horse. Very strange. :huh: I guess that they've must have forgotten to update their site. On the other hand, the story doesn't start until #1 (#0 is an introduction).

[eddie]

Legacy # 0 was to come out well before # 1, but due to circumstances at DH, this was not possible...

Here's Randy Stradley's post from April 16:

it took a bit longer than anticipated to put together all of the material for issue #0. It's going to be delayed. I'll let you know how long.

The good news is, the delay on #0 will not affect the release date of issue #1. It will still arrive on schedule.

And Jan Duursema chimed in on April 27:

It's really all my fault...

There was always 'one more' piece of art to do, one more thing that would look really cool with color, one more paragraph to complete the setup... etc. The book may be a little late, but Legacy is just so chock full of things we wanted to tell you about that it was just tough to resist expanding on stuff for it.

[Master Magnus]

^Great! I looked over at the DH forums but I completely missed that (I never visit that forum so perhaps it's not that strange).

[eddie]

small update: X-Wing Rogue Squadron Omnibus # 2 is now 'up' on Amazon and has the release date of October 25 (it will reprint # 9 - 20 from 1996 - 1997)

[Master Magnus]

^Updated. Thanks!

[eddie]

Apparently, there is a new Making Of... book on the way to coincide with the release of the OT in their original form: An Australian 20th Century Fox press-release mentioned the following:

Star Wars fans and movie buffs alike will get a thrill from the first-ever publication of The Making of Star Wars: A New Hope in the fall.

Read the entire press-release on the Australian DVDbits site at the following link:

http://www.dvdbits.com/press.asp?viewrelease=702

This is the only source I could find which mentions this book (after surfing the net for over an hour)...

[Master Magnus]

^Yeah, I read about it this morning (although the site failed to open for me at that time). I noticed that Sue Rostoni (Eeusu Estornii) confirmed it here (although no details were offered):

http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?thr...2689&start=1995 (http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=222689&start=1995)

No date has been specified as of yet (only "in the fall"), but it sure looks like something to really look forward to!

^Great, I'll add/update that.

[eddie]

And according to the DH upcoming thingy, Star Wars Legacy # 0 is back at May 31!!!!! (I am awaiting final confirmation of this over at the DH forums, though as the issue seems to bounce from date to date...)

[Master Magnus]

^Great. I'll keep an eye open.

[DarthSolo]

SWEET! May 31 will be a good day!

[Tarkin the Ewok]

Dark Horse's website is great for a general idea of when a comic is coming out, but they often change the date or do not ship on time. Diamond Comics has actual shipping lists for the upcoming Wednesday and the week following that. Whenever I have seen a title on the Monday update, it has always appeared two days later. This has saved me much disappointment when I shop for comics.

[Master Magnus]

I've changed the date tentatively for Legacy #0 to May 31 (pending further confirmation from Dark Horse).

[eddie]

^Great find, Eddie! I've added it to the release list.

[eddie]

Guess what: DH now has Legacy # 0 back at June 7...

My guess is that the DH webmaster is getting as crazy about this as we do... (having to chance the date every few days...)

[DarthSolo]

eddie, any word on if LOTF: Betrayal is actually out or not?

[bluemilk]

from the picture I attached in the EUDF hanger bay, Betrayal is definitely out and I started reading it last night. So I think it's still on for May 30 if that helps. I think I got an early copy because my book store doesn't give a damn.

For anyone who is starting to pick up DH comics, you'll soon find out that delays are a common thing.

[DarthSolo]

I would fall under that category. Can you usually get the SW graphic novels at B&N or Borders?

I checked both of the above stores today, and neither had LOTF. :(

[Tarkin the Ewok]

B&N and Border's know better than to break street date on Lucas titles. They will have it out on display May 30 and not a day before.

They do sell graphic novels, but their selection is limited. Unless you have a coupon, you'd do better to check your local comic shop or Amazon.

The official street date of Legacy of the Force: Betrayal is still May 30, but apparently a bookstore here and there (and then especially 'there' as in the US, as I do not believe that we Europeans would be able to get it before May 30) put it on the shelves early. This is a common-heard occurance as someone usually gets hold of a book before the street-date...

And regarding Dark Horse, in my 15 years of collecting SW-comics fom them, I am getting used to the occasional delay (which got worse when Randy Stradley became editor of the line, but IMHO the art and stories got better). Lately they have been on time again, not considering Legacy # 0 which has been floating around for the past several weeks. But as Tarkin the Ewok pointed out, a really good source is the Diamond shipping list which can be accessed at the following external link:

http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping.asp

On another note, Legacy # 1 has been pushed back to June 21 now that Legacy # 0 is on June 7...

I would fall under that category. Can you usually get the SW graphic novels at B&N or Borders?

I checked both of the above stores today, and neither had LOTF. :(
Quoted post

You can usually order them there. I myself get angry when I look for some TPBs to find magna has taken over the selection.

[DarthSolo]

Yeah, that's what it seemed like. Annoying, indeed. I think I've found a local comic book shop not too far, though. Hopefully they'll come through.

[eddie]

minor update, not really fiction-related but adding new scenarios:

Quoted post

Woah, sweet. I'm a minis player, and that's good to hear!

[eddie]

I'm no player, but the AT-ST scenario pack (which I ofcourse bought for the extra info regarding new scenarios) made me buy the AT-AT as well... I just love these miniature vehicles...

[DarthSolo]

It's a great game, man. You should try it out. I blieve "Champions of the Force" comes out in a couple weeks.

[eddie]

I am also curious about this starship-miniatures-thingy in which all ships are in scale to each other (or so it is reported)...

Anyways, Last of the Jedi # 6 (December 2006) has a title: Return of the Dark Side.

And the following book has apparently moved from July to August 30:

Update: Star Wars Insider # 89 should be in stores on August 7, 2006.

And over at the Dark Horse forums, Randy Stradley just annonced their new project: Star Wars: Dark Times!!!

Star Wars: Dark Times # 1 (The Path to Nowhere: Part 1)
US comic: written by Mick Harrison (plot by Welles Hartley), art by Douglas Wheatley
comic (32 pages), Dark Horse Comics, coverprice $ 2.99
The dark times are here. Even as the worlds of the former Republic are drawn into the iron grip of Palpatine’s Empire, the galaxy seems adrift in a sea of chaos, lawlessness, and despair.
On Coruscant, Darth Vader waits for his Master to reveal his vision for the future. But is there a plan beyond obtaining power? On New Plympto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir leads a Nosaurian army in a war they have already lost. Is this what in now means to be a Jedi?
Additional info by editor Randy Stradley: We'll publish an entire arc of Rebellion, then an arc of Dark Times, the an arc of Rebellion, and so on. The story begins in the days following the events in "Purge," and intertwines itself with some of the events in Jim Luceno's novel "Dark Lord."

Great! I'll update the release schedule. Btw, who's the author (is it Sansweet?).

[eddie]

don't know (yet...)

[Tarkin the Ewok]

Do we have a new date for Clone Wars Volume 9: Endgame? It's not on the shipping list for tomorrow.

[eddie]

Dark Horse still has it for this week, but that happens all the time... I guess we will have a new date later this week...

[eddie]

it appears that some stores had it, and others did not...

[Master Magnus]

I've opened a new Release Schedule (http://www.galacticsenate.com/showthread.php?t=11581) thread to replace the one that went missing. As of yet, I've only posted the release dates for August, but I'll add the remaining ASAP.

Enjoy the anticipation!!!

[Master Magnus]

Thank you very much, Eddie! I'm glad that you're glad (hmm...) that the release schedule is back. I'll update the new information towards the evening (or afternoon in the U.S.).

[eddie]

Great that you're glad that I'm glad that we are both glad that... :confused:

Oh yeah, BTW: you can erase the Lego guide for Sept. 5 as it is mentioned twice in the list and it is now scheduled for Sept. 13...

[Master Magnus]

Great that you're glad that I'm glad that we are both glad that... :confused:
:lol: Yeah, that can be confusing sometimes.

Oh yeah, BTW: you can erase the Lego guide for Sept. 5 as it is mentioned twice in the list and it is now scheduled for Sept. 13...
Oh, thanks. I didn't notice it.

[eddie]

Okay, 'major' update regarding the Star Wars comics from Dark Horse which were to be published this week: there will be NONE!!!! :but:

- Clone Wars Adventures Vol. 6 has been moved from Aug. 9 to Aug. 16
- Legacy # 3 has been moved likewise from Aug. 9 to Aug. 16

but the worst of all: according to the DH release-schedule, Rebellion # 5 (which DID appear on the Diamon shipping list earlier in the week but has since been removed from it) has been rescheduled from Aug. 9 to September 27!!! :but: (Looks like DH is reverting to their 'old habit' again...)

edit: on the bright side: the Karen Traviss ebook Boba Fett: A Practical Man has apparently been moved from Aug. 28 to Aug. 15!!!! :)

[Master Magnus]

I will hold off updating the release schedule with this new information until we learn more.

[eddie]

NOW available for download: Karen Traviss's Boba Fett: A Practical Man!!!

(for non-USians, the book IS available from http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/ ) as not all US online shops 'ship' to Europe and other territories...

[eddie]

Well, looks like we will have NO Star Wars comics this week as well... :(

The release-dates of RepCom books 3 and 4 have been confirmed by Sue Rostoni: Book 3 will be published in August 2007, while Book 4 is due in August 2008...

And we will have another Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures digest (Vol. 7) in January 2007 (I will post the new dates tomorrow: they are already online on my website, though)...

[DarthSolo]

woah woah woah, what about Legacy #3?

[eddie]

seems to be delayed...:(

[eddie]

Well, it appears Legacy # 3 has been postponed and will now be out on September 13 (according to the preview-link at the DH-site). I guess this means that # 4 (slated for Sept. 6) will also be rescheduled... :( :( :(

[eddie]

from Jeremy Barlow over at the DH forums:

I can't comment on Legacy, but I'll cop to Rebellion #5 being late. I apologize. Brandon needed more time to really push the issue through the roof, and rather than replace him with another artist, as I did on issue #3, I pushed the book back to let him finish. Having Brandon end the story spectacularly seemed more important to me than getting it out on time with another artist. It was a tough call, and I really, really hate that it had to play out this way, but sometimes that's how it goes. It'll all look pretty when it's collected. I hope you'll find the results to be worth the wait.

As for Clone Wars Adventures vol. 6 -- I don't know what's up there. I've had advance copies of that book in my office since early June, so any release delay is likely a transport issue (since we print that book in China and have it shipped over by boat). ::shrugs::

And from Jan Duursema over at TFN:

Hi all--

Many apologies for the delay with issue 3. Sometimes even when you think it's all covered, there's that one last unforseen thing that does not fall neatly into place.

We're exploring some new territory in Star Wars with this one. Personally, I think it will be worth the wait. After 3, we should be back on track with the rest. In the meantime, I keep wondering--when this issue finally hits the stands, will we hear individual screams or will be it more like the sound of a whole planet...

[DarthSolo]

Dammit! And I schedules a trip to the comic-book shop tomorrow with a friend! Ah well.

[Master Magnus]

I will update the release schedule during the weekend.

[Master Magnus]

Pheew! The release schedule has been updated. Due to the 20,000 character limit, I had to split it in two posts. The first part covers the period August 2006 to May 2007 and the second part covers the period June 2007 to November 2008.

If you spot any mistakes, mention it here.

[eddie]

Nice job!!! :)

[Master Magnus]

^Thanks Eddie!

[DarthSolo]

We've a character limit on the new boards? Well that kinda sucks. We didn't before. Hopefully that won't last...

[Master Magnus]

^Yes, we have, but that's not an issue in 99.9 % of the posts (most posts are fairly short).

[eddie]

Okay, some major changes in DH schedule appeared (I will try to update them in this thread before the weekend: I did already update them on my site)...

Anyways, Knights of the Old Republic # 8, which should come out today, has been rescheduled for September 13...

And Legacy # 4 will not be part of the Broken-storyline which will continue on Sept. 13 in Legacy # 3: To get back on the publication-track, this filler-issue takes place during the events of # 3 (and will show events in the galaxy at the time of Legacy...)

[Master Magnus]

Thanks, Eddie! The release schedule has been updated.

[DarthSolo]

Well, now I'm a bit confused. #4 is now a filler issue? When does it come out? And it doesn't have anything to do with the current storyline? hmm

and, from Karen Traviss' blog:

"Mr.Vader (sir) has been somewhat neglected of late in this blog, so it's nice to get his Force-choking mitts off my gizzard by announcing that the two Vader short stories I wrote for Insider last year will both be reprinted in the paperback edition of Betrayal by Aaron Allston.

In His Image and A Two-Edged Sword are a two-part story (or a short and its sequel) about Vader's early days in the job as 2IC to Palpatine. Instead of making Sithy caf and picking up the dry cleaning, he's tasked to go out and find some more clone templates to build up the Imperial Army. One batch that proves jolly interesting is a Dark Jedi trooper, but it's not half so interesting as coming to terms with working for the most devious man this side of the Black Stump. (No, I mean Palpatine. Get off, Darth Blair!)

If your thang is stormies with lightsabers, you'll enjoy this. In His Image was previously only available in Insider's Vader Souvenir Guide, which had a VERY short print run for collectors and now fetches silly prices on eBay."

and another update:

Star Wars comics for December 2006:

2006 (December 13)
Star Wars: Legacy # 7 (Broken, Part 6 of 6)
US comic: written by John Ostrander, art by Jan Duursema & Dan Parsons, cover by Adam Hughes
comic (32 pages), Dark Horse Comics, coverprice $ 2.99
Lightsaber (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/) crashes against lightsaber in a battle between Jedi and Sith that marks a crucial turning point in the fate of the galaxy! The life of a central figure hangs in the balance, triggering Cade Skywalker to make a shocking choice that will challenge everything he’s fought so hard to protect, and start him down a path from which he can never return. The stakes are higher than ever before in the Star Wars universe—be there as the future of this epic saga is revealed!

2006 (December 27)
Star Wars: Dark Times # 3 (The Path to Nowhere: Part 3 of 5)
US comic: written by Mick Harrison (plot by Welles Hartley), art by Douglas Wheatley
comic (32 pages), Dark Horse Comics, coverprice $ 2.99
These are dark times indeed, when even the noblest of undertakings must rely on stealth, deception, and possibly the betrayal and abandonment of friends and loved ones.
Events have led Jedi Dass Jennir and his companion Bomo Greenbark to the planet Orvax—slave marketplace to the galaxy. There they face not only danger from the slavers and the Empire, but they must confront the awful truth that their goal may be beyond their reach.
Meanwhile, Darth Vader must deal with some unpleasant realities—and memories—of his own. Though he is a Dark Lord of the Sith, even he must bow before the power of the Emperor.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic # 12
US comic: written by John Jackson Miller, art by Brian Ching, coverart by Hoon
comic (32 pages), Dark Horse Comics, coverprice $ 2.99
Take fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick, throw in a big-mouthed con artist, two mysterious refugees, and one grumpy droid and you’ve got the most unpredictable, fast-paced, just-plain-exciting take on the Star Wars universe (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/) since a scoundrel named Solo helped Luke Skywalker blow up the Death Star!
For this misfit crew of unlikely heroes, life in the Old Republic is anything by idyllic. Scheming to scrounge up some scratch on the banking world of Telerath, they’ve run afoul of two bounty-hunting brothers as dangerous to the galaxy as they are to each other. It’s going to take more than a lightsaber to get Zayne and his friends out of this one—such as deceits, disguises, and a bit of the good ol’ fashioned Force!

And the following book has been forwarded from Feb 25 to Feb 14...


2007 (February 14)

April 24, 2007
The Making of Star Wars: The Definite Story Behind the Original Film
US book (non-fiction): written by J.W. Rintzler
hardcover (276 pages), Del Rey, ISBN 0-345-49476-8, coverprice $ 49.95
softcover (252 pages), Del Rey, ISBN 0-345-47761-8, coverprice $ 29.95
from J.W. Rintzler’s blog: I've finished the first draft of the Making of Star Wars book--this is for the original 1977 film. George Lucas read the rough draft, made some corrections, filled in some blanks, and signed off on that. So now the captions are done for the chosen images--many, many never seen before--and we're just starting the design for the book, which comes out in April 2007. So we're in fairly good shape.
