THE ACOLYTE TRAILER JUST DROPPED
Characters:
MAE
“Mae gets swept up into a sinister mystery—one that puts her into the center of a conflict in unexpected ways.”
SOL
“Master Sol is a wise, highly respected, powerful Jedi Master, strong in the ways of the Force, who is going through emotional conflict.”
QIMIR
“Qimir is a former smuggler who now makes his living as a trader, procuring unusual things and enjoying a life of leisure.”
JECKI
“Jecki is the Padawan apprentice to Master Sol. Although she is young, she projects calm and conducts herself with maturity.”
YORD
“Yord, a Jedi Knight and guardian from the Jedi Temple, is an overachiever and a rule follower. His need to be a by-the-book Jedi can cloud his mind.”
VERNESTRA “VERN” RWOH
“Vernestra Rwoh is an elder Jedi Master who has ascended the ranks of the Jedi from a teenage prodigy to a leader in the Order. She became one of the youngest Jedi Knights in a generation at age 15, and solidified her status as a prodigy when she took Imri Cantaros as a Padawan the next year. With a purple-bladed lightsaber that can change into a lightwhip, young Rwoh led with unwavering faith in the Force and devotion to the Jedi Order. But in the year after the fall of Starlight Beacon — while mourning those lost in the destruction, including her own Padawan — Vernestra pulled back from the Order and shifted her focus to heal herself.”
MOTHER ANISEYA
“Mother Aniseya is the leader of a coven of Witches who value their independence and the preservation of their beliefs and powers.”
KELNACCA
“Kelnacca, a Wookiee Jedi, is a loner who lives a solitary life.”

Happy [bittersweet] Andor day!
I haven’t felt super inspired to make posters these past few days but I wanted to at least try so that I could properly commemorate what is easily the best thing to come out of Star Wars

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.
