Da quando i Jedi sono stati condannati a morte e costretti a fuggire da Coruscant, Kanan Jarrus si è dedicato anima e corpo a sopravvivere, piuttosto che a servire la Forza. Girovagando da solo per la galassia, Kanan ha deciso di non immischiarsi. Ma la brutale morte di un suo amico per mano dell'Impero costringerà l'ex Jedi a fare una scelta: piegarsi alla paura o combattere. Insieme a una banda di improbabili eroi, Kanan dovrà salvare il pianeta Gorse da una minaccia di proporzioni apocalittiche.

Sul desertico e sperduto pianeta Tatooine vive Ben, un barbuto e solitario straniero, tanto misterioso quanto eccentrico, che manda via chiunque provi ad avvicinarlo. In realtà Ben è il Maestro Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, un eroe delle Guerre dei Cloni, ed è disposto a tutto pur di celare la propria identità e proteggere dall'Impero l'ultima speranza della galassia: Luke Skywalker. Ma quando del sangue innocente verrà versato, Kenobi non potrà rinnegare il suo credo Jedi, e dovrà lottare in nome della giustizia. La vita segreta di uno dei Jedi più amati di Star Wars, protagonista della serie Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Migliaia di anni prima della distruzione della Morte Nera, un Padawan è accusato ingiustamente di aver ucciso i suoi compagni, e ora i suoi stessi Maestri gli danno la caccia! Dai bassifondi della città-pianeta Taris fino alle lande desolate di una luna, Zayne Carrick dovrà attraversare la galassia e cercare inaspettati alleati tentando di discolparsi da un'accusa infamante. Una delle più epiche e amate saghe a fumetti di Star Wars in una nuova edizione integrale.

L'ex padawan Zayne e il suo compare Gryph stanno per scoprire la verità sulla loro amica, l'indomabile Jarael, e su Rohlan, il taciturno disertore mandaloriano. Una verità scomoda, che impegnerà tutte le risorse di Zayne per affrontare un passato che sta per riaffiorare in tutta la sua pericolosità nel penultimo volume della saga di Knights of the Old Republic.

Tatooine è un pianeta pressoché deserto, dove i pochi agricoltori che vi abitano lavorano alla luce di due soli e cercano di difendere se stessi e i loro cari dai predoni Tusken. È un luogo primitivo ai confini dello spazio civilizzato, l'ultimo posto dove potrebbero nascondersi un Maestro Jedi in esilio e un bambino che porta sulle spalle il peso del futuro della galassia. Noto semplicemente come 'Ben', il barbuto e solitario profugo è uno straniero misterioso che vive per conto suo, non racconta niente del proprio passato e respinge chiunque provi ad avvicinarlo. Quando il conflitto tra gli agricoltori e i Sabbipodi raggiunge l'apice a causa di uno spietato signore della guerra, Ben si trova costretto a combattere, mettendo a rischio la missione che lo ha condotto su Tatooine. Ben è il Maestro Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, un eroe delle Guerre dei Cloni che ha tradito l'Impero ed è disposto a tutto pur di proteggere l'ultima speranza della galassia: è pronto a qualsiasi azione, ma non a volgere le spalle di fronte al male o a rinnegare il suo addestramento. Dopo che il sangue di innocenti è stato versato, e dopo aver smascherato il suo feroce avversario, Ben non potrà fare altro che appellarsi alla saggezza dei Jedi - e al formidabile potere della Forza - per lottare in nome della giustizia!

Da quando i Jedi sono stati condannati a morte e costretti a fuggire da Coruscant, Kanan Jarrus si è dedicato anima e corpo a sopravvivere, piuttosto che a servire la Forza. Girovagando da solo per la galassia, passando da un lavoretto anonimo all'altro, Kanan ha cercato a ogni costo di evitare problemi, soprattutto con gli Imperiali: Kanan ha deciso di non immischiarsi. La brutale morte di un suo amico per mano dell'Impero, tuttavia, costringerà l'ex Jedi a fare una scelta: piegarsi alla paura o alzare la testa e combattere. Kanan, comunque, non sarà solo. Lo accompagneranno nella sua sfida all'Impero alcuni alleati improbabili, tra cui un estremista dinamitardo, un ex agente segreto imperiale, un vendicativo ufficiale della sicurezza e la misteriosa Hera Syndulla, una sobillatrice guidata da ragioni personali. Col pianeta Gorse soffocato da una crisi di proporzioni apocalittiche, questa banda di eroi dovrà affrontare i più temibili sicari dell'Impero per salvare il mondo intero e tutti i suoi abitanti.

A NEW DAWN
Foreword by Dave Filoni
 
“A story with pacing and dialogue that feels like classic Star Wars.”—Nerdist
 
Ever since the Jedi were marked for death, Kanan Jarrus has devoted himself to staying alive rather than serving the Force. So when he discovers a conflict brewing between Imperial forces and desperate revolutionaries, he’s not about to get caught in the crossfire. Then the brutal death of a friend forces him to choose between bowing down to fear or standing up to fight. But Jarrus won’t be fighting alone. Soon he is joined by Hera Syndulla—a mysterious agent provocateur with motives of her own—in challenging the Empire for the sake of a world and its people.
 
TARKIN
 
“Compelling . . . The villains of Star Wars are as much fun as the good guys.”—New YorkDaily News
 
Under Governor Wilhuff Tarkin’s guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction—the so-called Death Star—moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. Until then, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Guerrilla attacks by an elusive band of freedom fighters must be countered with swift and brutal action—a mission the Emperor entrusts to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer, and Tarkin, whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire’s supremacy—and its enemies’ extinction.

COLLECTING: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1-18, material from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Rebellion 0

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . .

“The war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning.”—Emperor Palpatine

For a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights brought peace and order to the Galactic Republic, aided by their connection to the mystical energy field known as the Force. But they were betrayed—and the entire galaxy has paid the price. It is the Age of the Empire.

Now Emperor Palpatine, once Chancellor of the Republic and secretly a Sith follower of the dark side of the Force, has brought his own peace and order to the galaxy. Peace through brutal repression, and order through increasing control of his subjects’ lives.

But even as the Emperor tightens his iron grip, others have begun to question his means and motives. And still others, whose lives were destroyed by Palpatine’s machinations, lay scattered about the galaxy like unexploded bombs, waiting to go off. . . .

The first Star Wars novel created in collaboration with the Lucasfilm Story Group, Star Wars: A New Dawn is set during the legendary “Dark Times” between Episodes III and IV and tells the story of how two of the lead characters from the animated series Star Wars Rebels first came to cross paths. Featuring a foreword by Dave Filoni.

Praise for A New Dawn

“A New Dawn is a fine start to the new Expanded Universe. [John Jackson] Miller steps confidently into the unexplored territory and owns it; he’s crafted a story with pacing and dialogue that feels like classic Star Wars.”—Nerdist

“An entertaining adventure . . . with a cast of heroes that mixes laughter with intriguing depths of character. . . . John Jackson Miller packs in plenty of action and surprises.”—Roqoo Depot

“A confidently told story that gives fans a lot of reason to be hopeful about what’s to come as we move into this new phase of Star Wars . . . The book certainly got me even more excited for Rebels and to see more of Kanan and Hera’s adventures. We’re also introduced to other characters I would love to see again at some point, whether on Rebels, in another book or, who knows, in live-action at some point.”—IGN

“A New Dawn delivers a classic Star Wars experience that fans of all ages will be able to enjoy. It is extremely well-written, with an incredibly diverse cast too. Miller’s prose can easily suck readers in, and leave them speechless when 100 pages have flown by in the blink of an eye.”—Far Far Away Radio

“A New Dawn brings us into this new dawn of storytelling with energy, excitement, and characters that have become instantly ensconced into the Star Wars vernacular, and the results will satisfy Star Wars fans of many different palates.”—Coffee with Kenobi

“A New Dawn is a well-written novel full of intrigue and twists and turns that does an excellent job of letting Star Wars fans get to know Kanan and Hera.”—Tosche Station

“A New Dawn finds an era never before written about in the Star Wars universe—the years prior to the original movie, Episode IV—in robust good health. The narrative takes place on two worlds and a handful of ships in between them, but as with the best of all Star Wars moments, hints at hidden depths beyond.”—Mashable

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The Republic has fallen.
Sith Lords rule the galaxy.
Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has lost everything . . .
Everything but hope.

Tatooine—a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two suns while trying to protect themselves and their loved ones from the marauding Tusken Raiders. A backwater planet on the edge of civilized space. And an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding, or an orphaned infant boy on whose tiny shoulders rests the future of a galaxy.

Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder is an enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and goes to great pains to remain an outsider. But as tensions escalate between the farmers and a tribe of Sand People led by a ruthless war chief, Ben finds himself drawn into the fight, endangering the very mission that brought him to Tatooine.

Ben—Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars, traitor to the Empire, and protector of the galaxy’s last hope—can no more turn his back on evil than he can reject his Jedi training. And when blood is unjustly spilled, innocent lives threatened, and a ruthless opponent unmasked, Ben has no choice but to call on the wisdom of the Jedi—and the formidable power of the Force—in his never-ending fight for justice.
