Classic Thrawn Novels Get a Facelift!

Posted on August 30, 2016 - 8:49 pm by Ashley Wilbanks

If you are a fan of the classic Thrawn novels, which were the first three Star Wars Expanded Universe books, then you are in for a treat. To celebrate all things Thrawn, Del Rey is reprinting the book with three fantastic new covers. Artist Rich Kelly has contributed some spectacular artwork for the upcoming books.

Hello Friends, you may have heard that we are updating the covers for the legendary Thrawn trilogy by Tim Zahn.

Below you can see the new cover artwork – which features Thrawn more prominently – that will now accompany the books, starting this fall. The art was done by Rich Kelly.

There is currently no word on a release date, but as always, we will let you know when they become available.

Let’s not start a war of “way to confuse people Del Rey”, by releasing these reprints. They are clearly labeled “Legends”. Let’s just be happy that we are getting these reprinted books, with some great new Star Wars artwork! Let us know your thoughts on these three classic books. Will you be buying them again?
