Each edition will have a new book cover with original artwork. On September 7th, the collection expands with a new batch of trade paperback editions: Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn, The Last Command by Timothy Zahn, Darth Bane: The Rule of Two by Drew Karpyshyn, and Rogue Squadron by Michael A. This Essential Legends Collection curates some of the most treasured stories from that expansive legacy. Ideas, characters, story elements, and more from new Star Wars entertainment trace their origins back to material from the Expanded Universe. To this day, the EU remains an inspiration for Star Wars creators and is published under the label Legends. This became known as the Expanded Universe, or EU, of novels, comics, videogames, and more. He opened up that universe to be a creative space for other people to tell their own tales. When he created Star Wars, George Lucas built a universe that sparked the imagination, and inspired others to create. Novels set in a galaxy far, far away have enriched the Star Wars experience for fans seeking to continue the adventure beyond the screen. Each title features a new cover by artist Tracie Ching and it sounds like this project will be ongoing. With their first round of titles released last week ( Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn Darth Bane: Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn Shatterpoint by Matthew Stover), Del Rey is wasting no time adding to the collection. Del Rey continues to reward longtime Star Wars readers with four new additions to their Essential Legends Collection.
