Every Star Wars Book Releasing in 2025 (So Far)
A list of the Star Wars books releasing in 2025.
A new year has begun! Which means an entire new set of Star Wars books is set for release over the next 12 months. Only the first half of the year has officially been announced, and that’s what we’ll go over in today’s post.
While January is a bit quiet for book releases, February kicks things off with a new wave of Essential Legends Collection books — and there’s so much more to look forward to as the year goes on. Here’s what to expect, and hopefully look forward to.
February
Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (February 4)
The Force Unleashed II (February 4)
Scoundrels (February 4)
Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear (February 25)
April
The High Republic: Into the Light (April 1)
May
The Acolyte: Wayseeker (May 6)
The High Republic: A Valiant Vow (May 6)
The High Republic: Tempest Breaker (script) (May 13)
June
The High Republic: Trials of the Jedi (June 17)
July
The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown (July 29)
This list doesn’t include books for young readers, comics, or reference books, and I wish that I had the bandwidth to provide a more comprehensive release list for you. But I do hope that this list for the first half of the year helps you map out your preorders, reviews, and more.
