Books Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy

Amy is going to knock this book out of the park!

The art is looking great too. This book really will be a welcome addition to the canon!

As you read this below, notice how when telling of the women that will be featured in the book, as usual they do not list Padme!!

 

"I want to celebrate female characters across the galaxy — from the ones fans know incredibly well, like Leia and Padmé, to lesser known women like Vi Moradi or Aurra Sing"

She's in the book.

 

Plus Karen Hallion's illustration of her for the book was shown at the SDCC 2018 publishing panel and published on SW.com's roundup. They've mentioned her explicitly and used her image and personage in advertising the book.

 

The main Star Wars site has a few more illustrations up for this book.

They are gorgeous illustrations

 

The handmaidens are terrifying and look like they're about to sacrifice your soul for some dark occult.

 

Im surprised morai isn't in the daughter's illustration but the son is (I mean it makes sense he's there but still) . atleast the son being in the illustration proves to the crazies (who hate woman) that complained that its all woman book that there will be some men for them too look at .

 

I love it

 

Here's the Women of the Galaxy NYCC panel hosted by Ashley Eckstein.

 

*insert Director Krennic's "Oh, it's beautiful" here*

 

Very true. I wonder if Palpatine's Red Guards were inspired by the handmaidens of his homeworld wearing red.

 

Bumped into her at the panel!

Ciena Ree by Geneva Bowers (nice!)


Captain Phasma by Little Corvus


Jyn Erso by Elsa Charretier


Enfys Nest by Annie Stoll

 

As much as Women of the Galaxy is perfectly timely and much-needed (and not wanting to sound like a "but what about an International Men's Day!" type), I kinda hope there'll be follow-ups focusing on other characters too, if only so we get more of this fantastic art.

 

Men of the Galaxy would be a great follow up to this book just so we can get more character illustrations!

They could even put an illustration of Ben Solo on the cover in a similar pose as Rey, so it goes with Women of the Galaxy cover.

 

I don’t know... are there 75 important male characters in Star Wars? Who would buy a book with such a niche concept? Do men even like Star Wars?

No one likes Star Wars, least of all Star Wars fans.

 

I'm sure they could scramble some male characters if they try really hard. They could put in Willrow Hood and Jobin for example.

 

I'm here 1000% for Commodore Agate content.

Hearing that Agate was in the book may have been the most exciting thing for me as well. Adored that character and it was great that she now finally has some official art.

 

Is that a Doctor Who outfit she's wearing? Looks like it from what little I can see..
