Officially announced last month at NYCC during the Lucasfilm publishing panel, we now have our first look at the final artwork that has been selected for the cover of Del Rey’s 2018 sequel novel Thrawn: Alliances. The cover for the Timothy Zahn-penned title, which is scheduled to be released on June 26, features lead character Thrawn flanked by Darth Vader with his crimson-bladed lightsaber at the ready.
Two of Star Wars‘ greatest villains, together at last.
The Star Wars Show revealed today the cover of Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Alliances — the highly-anticipated follow-up to last year’s bestselling Thrawn novel. It’s a striking image featuring both Darth Vader and Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Empire’s deadliest enforcer and perhaps its most gifted strategist. The book finds Thrawn on a secret mission for the Emperor and joining forces with Vader himself; good for us readers and fans, not so much for anyone else.
