"A New Dawn." Topic

"Jackson Miller — available now from booksellers everywhere — was truly something different. The author, the Del Rey editors, and I were able to work on this with the Lucasfilm Story Group and the executive producers of Star Wars Rebels. It was a great collaborative enterprise that I know is only the beginning of a slew of awesome reading experiences we're going to be able to bring your way.
A New Dawn is an official prequel to Star Wars Rebels, telling the story of how Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla met and joined forces. It's considered just as much a part of the canon as the episodes themselves will be. That knowledge can make for a pretty heady experience, but it didn't change John Jackson Miller's approach one bit. He, like all of us involved with Star Wars fiction, just wants to tell a great story that engages readers and expands horizons. I think he accomplished this admirably in A New Dawn.
I want it to be clear that this is very much John's book. He came up with the story, the setting, all of the characters who aren't Kanan and Hera. What the executive producers of Rebels (Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman) and the Story Group were able to provide was insight into what makes Kanan and Hera tick, where they are from, and where they are headed. To be able to get direct access to these highly creative minds about the characters they created was invaluable. I think John did an absolutely remarkable job of capturing who Kanan and Hera are, without ever seeing a frame of footage! And that's due to the generous cooperation we received. I mentioned at our San Diego Comic-Con panel how gratifying it was to be able to have Dave and John speak directly about these characters, and to see John quickly grasping what Dave was trying to convey, and contributing ideas of his own, which led to more riffing from Dave, to more riffing from John…it was a wonderful creative experience…"
