Books Journey to TLJ: Canto Bight

But I was looking forward to the pure black cover! :face_crying:

 

We need a novel with the title "Cover Not Final"

How about a draw your own cover one?

 

I don't see the appeal of this book, yet I didn't think Phasma would be good, and it rocked!!!

 

Given the calibre of the authors involved.... I don't see any way this won't be a great book.

 

R.I.P. "Cover Not Final", until next time old friend.

 

I love the cover. It looks so cool.

 

That has to be the most original and memorable SW cover in a while.

 

Yeah, I too really like the cover.

The details on each of the stories sound great as well.

 

I'm not impressed. I don't want to read the 40 short stories of From A Certain Point of View, no interest in this novella collection, and the TLJ novelization I don't need to waste money on. Basically I'm stranded on a desert island until May. Also, I a have a bad feeling about this. I think Disney is going to put the kebash on Star Wars written stories to focus on the movies and tv shows. First, they take away the Insider short stories for no reason. I think the books are next If that's the case, I better check myself into a mental ward, because I will literally go crazy.

 

Dude. They're not taking the novels away.

Love that cover and all of the stories look like a lot of fun. Really looking forward to this collection.

 

If you haven't seen it yet, there was a really good high resolution shot of the city in last month's Entertainment Weekly coverage.

 

OK that explains why it looks so weird and "fake" to me. I still think it's cool but on second/third look everything looked awkward - though I figured it was purposeful, over the top like casinos and the flashy elite tend to be. Your noting of the layers helps me better understand what I'm seeing.

I'm hoping that this is kind of a mix of Scoundrels and Winner Lose All.

 

I am reminded of... Mr. Toad....

 

Wait this Mr. Toad?

I am honest to god asking

 

I'm quite looking forward to Canto Bight. I have fond memories of the old short story collections (Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina et al). I wouldn't have minded a similar collection pertaining to the guests at Maz's castle. I like the idea of having a background story to the interesting characters that we only catch a glimpse of in the films. Because these characters are often of no consequence to events in the storyline, it gives authors an opportunity to get creative.

 

Did you have a look at the Aliens short collection? It's YA/younger material, but the stories are fun and a couple are set in the castle.

 

Jedi Ben I didn't pick that up. To be honest, I glanced at the cover and thought it was a visual guide. I didn't realise it was a short story collection. I'll be sure to check that out. Thanks for the heads-up.
