MARVEL COMICS CROSSOVER EVENT: The Rebellion story in the Alphabet Squadron trilogy is mirrored in the crossover Marvel comics series, TIE Fighter, which tells the Empire’s side of the story. Shared characters and events appear in both stories, raising the profile of both the comics and the books.
THE FINAL CONFRONTATION: As the first Star Wars Novel trilogy since Star Wars: Aftermath (2016), the story of Alphabet Squadron is a truly epic one. Fans who loved the first two entries will be eager to experience the conclusion to this trilogy-spanning story.
GROWING AUDIENCE: Del Rey will give away over 4,000 copies of the first Alphabet Squadron at conventions this year to hook new fans on the series.
POST-RETURN OF THE JEDI SETTING: This novel takes place in the aftermath of the Original Trilogy, an era whose events receive intense speculation from fans. The desire to bridge the gap between the original and sequel trilogies will drive interest.
GENERAL HERA RETURNS: Popular Star Wars: Rebels character Hera Syndulla retuns as a mentor for the pilots of Alphabet Squadron.
X-WING NOSTALGIA: Like the new Thrawn series, the scope and material of this new trilogy hearken back to some of the most successful Star Wars books of Del Rey’s past, including the beloved X-wing series of novels.
