8.00pm on 11th October will see the virtual launch of Star Wars: Visions: Ronin by author Emma Mieko Candon, where she’ll be chatting about the book with Lucasfilm Creative Executive Matt Martin and Del Rey editor Tom Hoeler.
Star Wars: Visions reimagined the galaxy far, far away with a collection of animated shorts from some of the world’s biggest anime studios. The shorts, now on Disney+, showed us original and dazzling takes on the Star Wars mythology. And that exploration is continuing on the page with Del Rey’s novel Star Wars Visions: Ronin by Emma Candon. The book takes the story from producer Kamikaze Douga’s “The Duel” and expands upon it; the narrative focuses on a former, unnamed Sith known as Ronin. Yes, it’s rad. And also rad? Nerdist is hosting the official virtual launch event for the novel!
Join us as we welcome author Emma Candon and Lucasfilm senior creative executive Matt Martin in conversation with Del Rey editor Tom Hoeler. They’ll discuss all things Ronin, obviously, and what it’s been like to look at Star Wars through a new cultural lens. Indie bookstore Mysterious Galaxy joins as our official bookseller for the event; they have copies of Ronin with signed bookplates from Candon.
Stay tuned for our review of Star Wars: Visions: Ronin and our discussions on Making Tracks and Good Morning Tatooine.
