    I loved Tarkin, so great choice of author. Only question is what exactly is this going to be about?

    This is a separate novel, is it not and not a novelisation of the film?

    Yep, seems to be some kind of lead into story.

    Well I would wait, it might be as terrible a book as Tarkin was. [face_sigh]

    I'm suddenly a lot more interested in this novel now that they've said that Luceno is writing it. All of his novels have always been decent at the very least. Too bad they couldn't have had Death Star lights spelling out the title, but that would have probably been too complicated of a cover.

    At least three quarters of the book will be devoted to Jyn's childhood hunting experiences.

    I'm suddenly less interested in this novel. But I'm sure it will be... fine

    Love that cover. The sense of scope is impressive. Going to pre-order soon :)

    I guess that this will focus on Jyn's father and the Director, maybe a little mention of Thrawn and someone from Rebels?

    I'm interested in this story because it adds more background to the R1 cast, I prefer over a short comic series.

    Wonder if there'll be more Rogue One novels down the line?

    I mean if ANH and Empire can have dozens of books filling certain gaps why can't RO?

    One thing I'm now wondering is if this might end up raising up Tarkin a bit more.
