Martha Wells announced on her Live Journal that her new Star Wars novel, the first in the “Rebels” series, now has an official name: Empire and Rebellion: Razor’s Edge. Sounds like we might finally get into the nitty-gritty of Leia’s character in this book, which is awesome.
I’m very excited for this book, and I’m also really excited for potential implications of the new series name, Empire and Rebellion. Does this mean we might get stories from an Imperial point of view, say with fan favorite characters like Baron Fel and Tycho Celchu? Just imagine how awesome a Tycho defecting from the Empire novel would be.
Razor’s Edge is scheduled for release on October 15. Other upcoming novels in the Empire and Rebellion series include a Han-centric novel from James S.A. Corey and a Luke-centric novel from Kevin Hearne.
Del Rey also confirmed the titles on Twitter and Facebook:
Title for the upcoming Leia novel by @marthawells1 is STAR WARS: EMPIRE AND REBELLION: RAZOR’S EDGE. On sale in October. #SWEU #StarWars

“Just imagine how awesome a Tycho defecting from the Empire novel would be.”
I’m imagining it. ^^
Tycho defecting from the Empire novel = SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
If this first trio of novels does well I’m really hoping we’ll see more!
Oh man. Tycho defecting from the Empire, joining the Rebellion, and all of the tension involved there would be an amazing book and I WOULD BUY TEN COPIES.
I need that Tycho novel SO MUCH. Please Del Ray? PLEEEEEEEASE? DO IT FOR ALDERAAN.
