Star Wars-Wochenvorschau KW 16/2026 (13.04. – 19.04.2026)

Kommende Woche erwartet uns mit der deutschen Ausgabe der beeindruckenden Jubiläumsedition des Filmromans Episode III: Die Rache der Sith ein ganz besonderes Highlight. Neben der edlen Aufmachung als Hardcover, was für Star Wars-Romane hierzulande eine unglaublich seltene Ehre ist, enthält die Veröffentlichung jede Menge Bonusmaterial, darunter über 170 Anmerkungen des Autors Matthew Stover. Auf Englisch erwarten uns unter anderem der abschließende Sammelband von Jedi Knights und Taschenbuch-Nachdrucke mehrerer älterer Kanon-Romane. Außerdem wird ein neues Hörbuch für Kinder erscheinen, von denen wir ein weiteres aus vergangenem Februar noch nicht in der Wochenvorschau hatten.

Mehr als nur eine Nacherzählung: Wer Episode III nur als Film kennt, dessen Sichtweise wird sich durch den Roman völlig verändern.

Basierend auf dem letzten Film von George Lucas‘ epischer Star-Wars-Trilogie schuf Matthew Stover vor 20 Jahren einen Roman, der zu den besten des Star-Wars-Universums gehört, wenn nicht gar der gesamten Science Fiction. Anakin Skywalkers Hinwendung zur dunklen Seite der Macht, der Fall der Republik und der Aufstieg des Imperiums bewegen noch heute die Fan-Herzen. Diese beeindruckende Schmuckausgabe bietet neue Einblicke in die Entstehung eines Meisterwerks mit über 170 Kommentaren und einem neuen Vorwort des Bestsellerautors Matthew Stover.

  • Die ultimative Geschenkausgabe: über 170 Anmerkungen des Autors, illustrierter Vor- und Nachsatz, prächtig veredelter Umschlag, Farbschnitt und Lesebändchen.

Die hübsche Neuausgabe zum 20. Jubiläum des beliebten Kinofilms mit zahlreichen Extras kommt natürlich nur physisch richtig zur Geltung. Dafür enthält das zeitgleich veröffentlichte E-Book auch die exklusiven Fußnoten.

Han Solo and Lando Calrissian are reunited on the Millennium Falcon in a galaxy-spanning novel inspired by Solo: A Star Wars Story. But even the fastest ship in the universe can’t outrun the past. . . .

THEN:

It’s one of the galaxy’s most dangerous secrets: a mysterious transmitter with unknown power and a reward for its discovery that most could only dream of claiming. But those who fly the Millennium Falcon throughout its infamous history aren’t your average scoundrels. Not once, but twice, the crew of the Falcon tries to claim the elusive prize—first, Lando Calrissian and the droid L3-37 at the dawn of an ambitious career, and later, a young and hungry Han Solo with the help of his copilot, Chewbacca. But the device’s creator, the volatile criminal Fyzen Gor, isn’t interested in sharing. And Gor knows how to hold a grudge. . . .

NOW:

It’s been ten years since the rebel hero Han Solo last encountered Fyzen Gor. After mounting a successful rebellion against the Empire and starting a family with an Alderaanian princess, Han hasn’t given much thought to the mad inventor. But when Lando turns up at Han’s doorstep in the middle of the night, it’s Fyzen’s assassins that he’s running from. And without Han’s help, Lando—and all life on Cloud City—will be annihilated.

With the assistance of a young hotshot pilot, an Ewok slicer prodigy, the woman who might be the love of Lando’s life, and Han’s best and furriest friend, the two most notorious scoundrels in the New Republic are working together once more. They’ll have to journey across the stars—and into the past—before Gor uses the device’s power to reshape the galaxy.

Discover Captain Phasma’s mysterious history in this essential prequel story.

One of the most cunning and merciless officers of the First Order, Captain Phasma commands the favor of her superiors, the respect of her peers, and the terror of her enemies. But for all her renown, Phasma remains as virtually unknown as the impassive expression on her gleaming chrome helmet. Now, an adversary is bent on unearthing her mysterious origins—and exposing a secret she guards as zealously and ruthlessly as she serves her masters.

Deep inside the Battlecruiser Absolution, a captured Resistance spy endures brutal interrogation at the hands of a crimson-armored stormtrooper—Cardinal. But the information he desires has nothing to do with the Resistance or its covert operations against the First Order.

What the mysterious stormtrooper wants is Phasma’s past—and with it whatever long-buried scandal, treachery, or private demons he can wield against the hated rival who threatens his own power and privilege in the ranks of the First Order. His prisoner has what Cardinal so desperately seeks, but she won’t surrender it easily. As she wages a painstaking war of wills with her captor, bargaining for her life in exchange for every precious revelation, the spellbinding chronicle of the inscrutable Phasma unfolds. But this knowledge may prove more than just dangerous once Cardinal possesses it—and once his adversary unleashes the full measure of her fury.

The story of the one that even Darth Vader answers to: Tarkin.

He’s the scion of an honorable and revered family. A dedicated soldier and distinguished legislator. Loyal proponent of the Republic and trusted ally of the Jedi Order. Groomed by the ruthless politician and Sith Lord who would be Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin rises through the Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority ever more mercilessly . . . and zealously pursuing his destiny as the architect of absolute dominion.

Rule through the fear of force rather than force itself, he advises his Emperor. Under Tarkin’s guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. When the so-called Death Star is completed, Tarkin is confident that the galaxy’s lingering pockets of Separatist rebellion will be brought to heel—by intimidation . . . or annihilation.

Until then, however, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Escalating guerrilla attacks by resistance forces and newfound evidence of a growing Separatist conspiracy are an immediate danger the Empire must meet with swift and brutal action. And to bring down a band of elusive freedom fighters, the Emperor turns to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer as remorseless as he is mysterious; and Tarkin—whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire’s supremacy . . . and its enemies’ extinction.
