A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . .
âThe war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning.ââEmperor Palpatine
For a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights brought peace and order to the Galactic Republic, aided by their connection to the mystical energy field known as the Force. But they were betrayedâand the entire galaxy has paid the price. It is the Age of the Empire.
Now Emperor Palpatine, once Chancellor of the Republic and secretly a Sith follower of the dark side of the Force, has brought his own peace and order to the galaxy. Peace through brutal repression, and order through increasing control of his subjectsâ lives.
But even as the Emperor tightens his iron grip, others have begun to question his means and motives. And still others, whose lives were destroyed by Palpatineâs machinations, lay scattered about the galaxy like unexploded bombs, waiting to go off. . . .
The first Star Wars novel created in collaboration with the Lucasfilm Story Group,Star Wars: A New Dawn is set during the legendary âDark Timesâ between Episodes III and IV and tells the story of how two of the lead characters from the animated seriesStar Wars Rebels first came to cross paths. Featuring a foreword by Dave Filoni.
Praise for A New Dawn
âA New Dawn is a fine start to the new Expanded Universe. [John Jackson] Miller steps confidently into the unexplored territory and owns it; heâs crafted a story with pacing and dialogue that feels like classicStar Wars.ââNerdist
âAn entertaining adventure . . . with a cast of heroes that mixes laughter with intriguing depths of character. . . . John Jackson Miller packs in plenty of action and surprises.ââRoqoo Depot
âA confidently told story that gives fans a lot of reason to be hopeful about whatâs to come as we move into this new phase ofStar Wars . . . The book certainly got me even more excited for Rebels and to see more of Kanan and Heraâs adventures. Weâre also introduced to other characters I would love to see again at some point, whether onRebels, in another book or, who knows, in live-action at some point.ââIGN
âA New Dawn delivers a classic Star Wars experience that fans of all ages will be able to enjoy. It is extremely well-written, with an incredibly diverse cast too. Millerâs prose can easily suck readers in, and leave them speechless when 100 pages have flown by in the blink of an eye.ââFar Far Away Radio
âA New Dawn brings us into this new dawn of storytelling with energy, excitement, and characters that have become instantly ensconced into theStar Wars vernacular, and the results will satisfy Star Wars fans of many different palates.ââCoffee with Kenobi
âA New Dawn is a well-written novel full of intrigue and twists and turns that does an excellent job of lettingStar Wars fans get to know Kanan and Hera.ââTosche Station
âA New Dawn finds an era never before written about in the Star Wars universeâthe years prior to the original movie, Episode IVâin robust good health. The narrative takes place on two worlds and a handful of ships in between them, but as with the best of all Star Wars moments, hints at hidden depths beyond.ââMashable
