Star Wars Book Cover Overview

The Twitter User "SCentralized" inspired me with his "if this Star Wars show/movie were a Book of Expanded Universe in the mid 90s" Covers to do a little overview of Star Wars cover designs.

In this post I will go through these Covers. I hope you have fun with it!

1970s / 1980s:

The first "era" of covers I would call the "Classic SciFi Cover " era. It includes the novel adaptationsof the OT as well as "Splinter of the Mind Eye", "The Han Solo/Lando Calrissian Adventures" The covers are designed the way sci-fi novels often looked at the time.

The 1990s

Things got really fancy in the 90s. The covers of the "Movie Poster" era look like the posters of Original Trilogy. That may be due in part to the fact that Drew Struzan designed some of those covers. The books of this era are works of art and the cover alone makes you want to read the book.

1999 - 2005

That changed in the early 2000s when the Star Wars publishing rights went back to Del Rey. This "Early Del Rey" era is dominated by 2 cover types: Promo images of the movies put together in Photoshop, and abstract illustrations that sometimes looked really good, sometimes weird. This era spanned the entire period of the prequels' release. 1999-2005. The prequel era books mostly featured promo images and the "New Jedi Order" series, also released during this time, featured illustrated covers.

2006 - 2009

From 2006 onwards, there was a mixture of Photoshop, but also a return to illustrations and, for a short time, 3Dish models. One example of this is the "Darth Bane Rule of Two", Fortunately, this trend was quickly discarded.

2009 - Today

In 2009, the "Fate of the Jedi" series started with an interesting cover design. Personally, I'm a big fan of it.

From then on, the focus was completely back on illustrations, and it has remained that way until today.

Every now and then, however, there are "relapses" into the past. For example, Star Wars Brotherhood or Jedi Battle Scars.

Of course, this is only a selection of covers and not all covers were and are the same - that would be boring. But it is interesting to see what "trends" there were and are.

Anakin the weighted blanket

#obikin #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #sw art #star wars #mayhem art #they were both too tired to get to the bed not even mentioning getting changed. #and why searching for a blanket when you can cover your Master with your own body right 😏 #especially if the Master in question is too tired to protest 😌 #(and perhaps Obi-Wan secretly likes being weighted down by Anakin)

For the pose ideas, D3 for Fox, Thorn and Thire? Our Corrie boys finally getting a dang nap!!!

Thanks for asking! ❤️ they are more than overdue a nap pile (maybe next time they will even get out of the armor before they fall asleep)

I’m not overly familiar with the Corries so I apologize if I accidentally put the wrong armor on Thire🫣

Polyamorous/platonic pile poses

#as far as I can see thire is the only one with a face somewhere in canon? #anyways I tried for long hair with fox but it really didn’t want to work… and thorn already has that covered so… next time #for the time being I’m disappearing for a week I will return with the rest of the requests! #revitalized and rejuvenated and all that 🤞 #coruscant guard #corrie guard #commander fox #commander thorn #commander thire #tcw fanart #sw tcw fanart #clone troopers #my art #poly sketches #digital art #clone wars fanart #answers #whiskeygoldwings #artists on tumblr #star wars fanart

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️ #i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭 #i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!! #also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀 #and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

OK so when we see Cody in season 2 of the Bad Batch, he’s still in the same armor, but he’s repainted its orange accents gray, right?

This made me think of scene from Office Space where Jennifer Anniston’s character is pulled aside by her boss about her work uniform’s “flair”

Rampart: We need to talk about your armor.

Cody: Really, sir? But I repainted it? You said you wanted me to cover up the orange.

Rampart: Now, it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like CT-2113 over there, for example- his armor has no special customizations, and is solid white.

Cody: Okay… So do you want me to repaint it all white?

Rampart: Look, the Imperial Army is about uniformity and looking like a cohesive team. That’s what this new armor policy is about, it’s about unity. You do want to be a team player don’t you?

Cody: So… I should just wear the new armor, then?

Rampart: Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum changes to your old armor is enough, then okay… But some troopers choose to wear the newer armor and we encourage that, okay?

#this was the final straw to turn him against the empire #Cody going AWOL: 🖕🖕 this is me expressing myself #commander Cody #tcw commander cody #tbb cody #sw cody #the bad batch #tbb #tbb s2 #tbb season 2 #Star Wars #mine #also V sad to picture Cody repainting his armor to cover up his old colors
