    And now we have a cover and summary for this one too.

    [​IMG]

    On the desert world of Jedha, in the Holy City, friends Baze and Chirrut used to be Guardians of the Whills, who looked after the Kyber Temple and the devoted pilgrims who worshipped there. Then the Empire came and took over the planet. The temple was destroyed and the people scattered. Now Baze and Chirrut do what they can to resist the Empire and protect the people of Jedha, but it never seems to be enough. Then a man named Saw Gerrera arrives, with a militia of his own and grand plans to take down the Empire. It seems like the perfect way for Baze and Chirrut to make a real difference and help the people of Jedha live better lives. But will it come at too great a cost?

    I wish this was an adult novel, but I'm still getting it. Hopefully it will contain some ancient jedi lore :)

    I would very much like for "Then the Empire came and took over the planet" to become the new "Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked"

    Chirrut and Baze backstory.

    Yep, looks like I'll be picking this one up.

    This looks great, I've really enjoyed everything Rucka has put out so far so I'm glad to see he will be the one writing this.

    Me too! Maybe we'll get an adult version somewhere down the line.

    Is this a YA or a Junior book?

    Middle grade which is the same category as Smuggler's Run, Moving Target, etc.

    Thanks! I didn't see the MG in the title and then couldn't determine what it meant.

    I thought Rucka's other books were "okay." I really hope he does these two justice. I would love to see this as a graphic novel as well.

    I was fairly apathetic about this until I saw who was writing it.

    This is awesome, but I almost had a heart attack from cute when I saw OBI-123. I need to get that for my 2 year old.

    Another one to pick up then if it's at the same level as Moving Target etc, simplified for the younger audience but not so much an adult couldn't enjoy. Oh and Rucka writing, nice.
