The Lucasfilm Publishing panel at SDCC just concluded a short time ago. We’ve rounded up a collection of tweets that were sent out during the panel from several media sources revealing the various announcements/updates.
Among the highlights was an announcement that Marvel will be adapting Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn novel into a new comic series, we’ll be getting an ‘Art of’ and Visual Dictionary for The Last Jedi on December 15, and author Jason Fry will be penning the official novelization of Episode VIII.
Check them out below.
