Lit Books The Essential Legends Collection Trade Paperbacks Series

The chances of the former are much higher than the latter, I think.

 

Yeah, and ultimately I’ll take what I can get because Outbound Flight doesn’t have a proper unabridged audiobook and it’s a bit more relevant to the canon publishing in light of the Ascendancy Trilogy…

….but I’d really love to see TJA trilogy get some handsome new covers and a proper series of audiobooks.

 

I’m with you there. Unabridged audiobooks of the entire trilogy would be a wonderful surprise.

 

Very late to this thread but I'm hoping to see unabridged releases of the LOTF series. I liked them already, but the abridged version makes them tedious.

 

I don't think they are abridged though.

I would also like JAT to be part of this but I doubt it will happen.

 

Wondering this as well but I haven't been able to find any info.

 

That hard contact cover looking amazing!

 

The cover for Hard Contact suggests that it’s just the first of the series. Similar to the X-Wing series, I think we’ll get the main four reprinted.

Hard Contact
Triple Zero
True Colors
Order 66

 

Yoda cover doesn’t really do much for me, but the other two are quite beautiful.

 

That Hard Contact cover is great, it's funny to me that this time around X-Wing gets generic-looking helmets while Republic Commando gets painted scenes from the novel.

 

They should do effort on the covers... not this 5 second filter stuff worse than the worst fanart.

I had high hopes for Talisibeth on the Dark Rendevouz cover... not generic Yoda. Hard Contact is at least nice art but not worth it to rebuy the book. I mean, it is unspectacular for a cover. As for Dawn, finally an original cover with interesting design choices but somehow it got stuck at the sketch phase and never brought to quality it needs to sell.

 

well this sucks. Takes a lot of my interest out of these, since Yoda would have been great as a full audio book.

 

As sad as that news is, I’m just glad we got all the original Rogue Squadron books as unabridged audiobooks. I fervently hope that they continue releasing more unabridged audiobooks as part of the Essential Legends Collection. But if they don’t, then I will count myself very fortunate that the last one we got was The Bacta War. Which was the first EU novel I ever purchased for myself as a kid. Even now, twenty years later, that book holds a very special place in my heart. That we finally received an unabridged audiobook of that novel is a truly wonderful thing for me.

 

So Wave 7 titles are apparently:

Old Republic: Fatal Alliance
Outbound Flight
Republic Commando: Triple Zero
Survivor’s Quest

 

I guess they are going to do all the Old Republic books, after this only Annihilation is left.

I wonder if they will do the rest of the Clone Wars books (Medstar, Cestus deception, Jedi trial) or the Dark Lord Trilogy?

 

I reaaaally would love the Dark Lord Trilogy to get some snazzy new covers.

 

They haven't done Hand of Thrawn itself yet, have they?

Labyrinth of Evil and Dark Lord both seem very likely, but I don't think they'd include a novelisation in this program.

 

I do hope we get unabridged audiobooks for this release. I’ve dreamed of a proper audiobook for Outbound Flight for years. Perhaps fortune will shine on us again. Only time will tell. But I have something to hope for now.

 

I actually enjoyed the Anakin and Obi-Wan sections. Particularly where Kenobi stands up to C’baoth. But for me, the best part is Sidious’s rage when he finds out that Anakin is aboard Outbound Flight. He’s so furious that Doriana is terrified.

 

Oh, for me Legends and Canon are two separate, parallel universes that diverge in certain areas. I don’t subscribe to my good friend @Sinrebirth One Canon theory anymore.

 

It's been awhile since I peeked in here.

But this cover art is the best, by FAR, of anything they have done in this series.

A big plus for Isard.
There was clearly a model involved.
If that Rogue Squadron Movie ever happens, write Isard in and hire the model. Even if she can't act. Isard was weird anyway.

That said...it is a pretty basic image to be the high point so far. And none are better then the original covers.
