Issue 219 of Star Wars Insider will soon out in the wild, hitting the US on 13th June and the UK on 6th July and it’s a special issue for the team here at Fantha Tracks as myself and fellow Fantha Sander de Lange co-wrote the cover article, looking at the UK locations of Star Wars Andor season 1. However, that’s not the only big attraction for this issue, which looks at the latest season of The Bad Batch, catches up with The High Republic: Convergence author Zoraida Cordova and brings us the final Phase 2 story from The High Republic by George Mann.
Here at Star Wars Insider we’re huge fans of Lucasfilm Animation’s Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021-), so in issue 219 we go behind the scenes to learn how an episode of this incredible series is made, from initial story meetings to final edits. And it’s such a complex process that we could only fit in half of the story into this issue!
Among the other delights you’ll find in this issue, we talk to Phil Szostack about the history of The Art of Star Wars books, meet some of the saga’s Twi’leks, and The High Republic author Zoraida Córdova tells us about her Star Wars novels. Plus, we end our Phase II short fiction with a final Tales of Enlightenment story from George Mann.
