    I wasn’t planning on it, seeing as I already have the novel, but...

    That artwork looks insanely good. I already know that the story is ace.

    Why shouldn’t I purchase this? :D

    The novel is great, but there are a ton of new characters in it- it's definitely exciting to see artists'' depictions of them in this (including AC/CD Thrawn :p)

    Admittedly, I’m a pretty easy sell on most things Star Wars so...I can’t wait for its release! Guess I’ll go pre-order :p

    Really need a face to put to Eli Vanto at this point :D

    That is VERY interesting, and I wonder why...what brings them to resurrect (no pun intended) Padme??

    Maybe Forces of Destiny? Episodes with her and Ahsoka are, in my opinion, one of the best this series had, so maybe that's why her popularity increased. Or maybe there's some bonkers connection to her and Naboo in The Last Jedi or Solo... We'll see.

    I am the most excited because the writer of Thrawn comic wrote Rogue One adaptation and it was excellent and they said there would be new stuff in this as well - probably directly from Zahn.

    My guess is that as a YAL book, she's a pretty great candidate. Familiar character with a decent amount of flexibility for her story between TPM and AotC, or even perhaps before TPM.

    Lots of opportunities for a so far untold coming of age story, a strong female character, and a familiar and intriguing face. I could be wrong, and there could be more to this story, but I think it already sells itself as is.

    Well that came out of nowhere. Thanks for the update @Pawek_13 :)

    I’m all for this.

    Not sure when I’d want it set, though...

    • Reading about a pre-TPM Padmé becoming Queen would be interesting.

    • Something between TPM and AOTC, given the space to do quite a lot freely there. I mean, why does Padmé suggest at the start of AOTC that she thinks that Dooku could be behind her assassination attempts, of all people? There seems to be some history there, which could make for an interesting story.

    • Alternatively, there’s no stressor like war. Something set in the months leading up to ROTS could be interesting: learning about her pregnancy (and consequently hiding it from the public and wondering how she’ll tell Anakin) and setting up a meeting with people like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa (yes, just like in the ROTS deleted scene) could be interesting, especially seeing as giving more information about these events could add some more depth to the film.

    In fact: a novel set almost anywhere about Padmé stands a great chance at adding some much needed character development between her and Anakin, in my opinion. Set during the Clone Wars? Have her dream about Anakin, having children, you know, living in Naboo out by the lake country: give us some insight into her mindset at almost any pivotal point and we could get a potentially great story.

    I look forward to it! :D

    That reveal just struck me a bit strangely that suddenly SHE is getting a novel, and it makes me wonder if (by reminding the SW fans ....such as geeks like us) of her, if there is going to be a connection on that large screen sometime soon, and this is just going to be a way to brush the dust off of her for future use...other than a book.

    That just crossed my mind...

    Anyone here who has read any of the Journey to The Last Jedi books? I need to get one to read while on internet blackout from the 14th to about the 21st when I will go see the movie.

    Any suggestions?

    For me, it's the Leia Princess of Alderaan book. It's a great story and I think/guess it will have the most tie-ins with TLJ
