Star Wars announces 6 new books inspired by The Mandalorian for fans of all ages
Get ready for some brand new stories in a galaxy far, far away...
Star Wars has announced that six brand new books inspired by hit Disney Plus series The Mandalorian are set for release, starting from later this year.
Some of the books will tell original stories based on the characters of the acclaimed spin-off, while others will offer fresh details on the world of the show or exclusive artwork from the creative team.
The new series kicks off with The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season One), which will feature concept art and illustrations from the minds behind the series, showing initial visions for pivotal characters and scenes.
Meanwhile, a brand new novel based on characters from the show is in the works from writer Adam Christopher, who recently penned Stranger Things tie-in book Darkness on the Edge of Town.
Plot details are yet to be revealed, but both books are pegged for release before the end of the year.
