We reported back in May about author Mur Lafferty being chosen to write the official Del Rey novelization for Solo: A Star Wars Story. At the time the final cover art for the title had not yet been revealed. However, during yesterday’s Star Wars Publishing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, that question was answered as we now have a look at artwork selected for the novel’s cover. We also learn that the title, which releases on September 4, is an “expanded edition” that will include additional scenes/details about Solo that were not present in the theatrical release.
Check out the details below as well as a closer look at the cover artwork. For more on the Publishing panel from yesterday, point your browser here.
