Star Wars Celebration hosted a panel filled with authors and artist that have been expanding the world of Star Wars, beyond the screen and onto the page.

The panel revealed a fair amount, with looks into some of the final parts of The High Republic, all-new stories that expand some familiar characters and a host of books that provide insight to beloved shows and more. To make things easier, we have grouped everything by their respective periods.

Some of the books that were talked about on stage, did also get some sneak peeks inside. For most of those, we have kept them out of this story, but you can find them on the official Star Wars website.
