What follows is a selection of images that Stephen Tappin had intended to present at this year’s IAMAG. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled, so he’s posted them all on ArtStation.
The images are all concept art and sketches from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – Speeder Chase on Pasaana.
We were tortured for more than ten months. Since the last The Star Wars Celebration in April 2019, we asked ourselves: What is Project Luminous? We only knew that it was a pure literature project by Del Rey, Disney-Lucasfilm Press, Marvel and IDW Publishing and that Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott and Charles Soule were involved. Finally, there was increasing evidence that the project would take place in the High Republic era, a few centuries before Episode I. Now the secret has finally been revealed! (via StarWars.com )
Project Luminous is officially called Star Wars The High Republic and includes several novels and comic series that will be released in August 2020. According to our information, the project should consist of several phases. “Phase 1” of the project is titled Light of the Jedi . But that’s not all that is to come. We can look forward to a longer project.
he youth novel A Test of Courage by Justina Ireland, which will be released on September 8th by Disney-Lucasfilm Press, is aimed at an even younger target group.
The YA novel Into the Dark is written by Claudia Gray and will be released on October 13th at Disney-Lucasfilm Press.

After the big announcement yesterday that Project Luminous hides an ambitious publishing program called Star Wars: The High Republic, Cavan Scott – one of the five authors of the project – explains on his website what can be expected from his Marvel series of the same name. He creates an exciting connection to Dooku: Jedi Lost!

“Rey lays on the stone slab still injured. “Light fills up space around her. Particles of energy floating up. She rises with energy. The light engulfs the frame until we reach a place beyond what we know. The Astral Plane. Yoda, Luke, and Obi-Wan appear before her. Rey: “Is this death?” Obi-Wan: “In this place, there is no such thing as death.” Yoda reveals Rey succeeded where they failed. Luke: “You choose to embrace the dark side and the light. To find the balance within.” They offer Rey a choice to stay in the comfort of the Astral Plane or to return to the living where she will experience both love/loss. The spirits fade. Obi-Wan: “You are a Jedi, Rey Solana, but you will not be the last.”
“Finn reads a story to the young kids and they ask if they really think Rey is gone. Finn believes she’s alive because of the force. Poe and Chewie are flying and they find a beacon on a planet. Rey is alive, on the Wavett planet, pulling the Falcon out of the icy water.”
