Fun week ahead my friends. Next week a new comic, High Republic novel, Artfx statue and Legends Epic collection hit the shelves. Plus an enormous final order cutoff.
The Mandalorian #4 is the first appearance of Cara Dune as well as Mando’s love interest from season #1.
The New Republic Vol Epic Collection is a big collection of one of the most popular Dark Horse Star Wars series, Crimson Empire.
The headliner for me is Star Wars: The High Republic Path of Deceit, the first novel in Phase II of the High republic.
And the good times look to continue because, with the High Republic comics and books kicking off in October, with Hidden Empire, Revelations, and Yoda right behind it (along with the usual ongoing comic runs) we’ll be eatin’ good every week for quite some time.
So check out everything new coming up below and get your pre-orders in over at TFAW. All FOC books are also below.

Star Wars: Path of Deceit (The High Republic)
(A) Tessa Gratton, Justina Ireland
Young Adult (YA) Novel
Set in the world of the High Republic, 150 years before the storytelling of Phase I, an era of change brings new hopes and possibilities . . . but also new dangers.
The Outer Rim planet Dalna has become the focus of a Jedi investigation into a stolen Force artifact, and Zallah Macri and her Padawan, Kevmo Zink, arrive on the pastoral world to follow up on a possible connection to a Dalnan missionary group called the Path of the Open Hand. Members of the Path believe that the Force must be free and should not be used by anyone, not even the Jedi. One such believer is Marda Ro, a young woman who dreams of leaving Dalna to spread word of the Path throughout the galaxy.
When Marda and Kevmo meet, their connection is instantaneous and electric?until Marda discovers Kevmo is a Jedi. But Kevmo is so kind and eager to learn more about the Path, that she hopes she can convince him of the rightness of her beliefs. What Marda doesn’t realize is that the leader of the Path, a charismatic woman known only as the Mother, has an agenda of her own, and it is one that can never coexist peacefully with the Jedi.
In order to follow her faith, Marda may have to choose to become her new friend’s worst enemy. . . .

Now, Kanos must escape Jax’s grasp and find new allies — and a new identity as bounty hunter Kenix Kil!

Star Wars Visions the Ronin Artfx Statue
From Kotobukiya. Star Wars: Visions, an anthology of animated short films celebrates Star Wars through the lens of the world’s best anime creators and storytellers. The Duel, an animated short by studio Kamikaze Douga, captivates audiences with groundbreaking visuals and intense action.
Masterfully sculpted in 1/7-scale the Ronin stands in a stoic pose brandishing a lightsaber aglow with vibrant red from the imbedded Kyber Crystal.
Every detail from the Ronin’s character design has been painstakingly replicated down to the prosthetic jaw support, his arsenal of two lightsabers and blaster and the billowing robes of his attire, which were designed to resemble those of a kimono in Japanese culture.

Star Wars Comic Book FOC Deadlines
For those who aren’t familiar, FOC, or Final Order Cut Off, is when publishers and distributors require retailers to get their orders in. Printers then print according to that number (sometimes with overages). So, if you want to absolutely guarantee you get a book, best bet is to order it before FOC. Final Order Cut Off is Monday 9/26/22 this week.
Let’s dive in…
