Recently published in Japan was the Force Unleashed novel by Sean Williams, the tie-in novel to the popular game.

book one

book two http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/images/4434130366/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=465392&s=books

sadly posting the image here is hit and miss to if it will show. therefore the links.

Well I think it’s cool ^^ much better than the recent Star Wars book covers I have seen in Japan of recent.

That and Milenium Falcon was the most recent book to publish in Japanese. As always I’m watching the book stores and Japanese sites for new releases.

So what next ? I think to an interview with Japanese artists Nagano, Mito and JAKe. Since people love the Japanese book covers, I think maybe you interest in the artist’s thought about it ?

Well, there are interview published in Japanese. It was hard to find on the Japanese site, so I think you don’t know about ? I enjoy reading the interview of US artists, but I think to the language barrier and fansites in Japan being small, interviews from Japanese artists has been missed by the people that is probably most interested: US fans.

This is my first post to this blog. Yesterday I was to talking to somes friends from my favorite Star Wars site. And I discovered that they did not see the Japanese cover for Milenium Falcon, and apparently wookieepedia, force.net, njoe seems to have missed it too. Even after the book has been out in Japan for months !!

Well, I am very happy ! ^__^ To this blog I want to bring news about the Expanded Universe from Japan that you don’t know about yet.

In Japan books is smaller size than the US. What you will get as one book in the US will be two or more books in Japan.

So, this the Japanese covers for Milenium Falcon by James Luceno

book one

book two

Thoughts on this ? Disapoint ? Well, to honest, I am disapoint.
It should have a picture of Allana. Not even Han and Leia ???
It is a sadly missed opportunity to showing us what Allana looks like. That I see from talking to friends, was what you were looking forward to see ?
Well, it so shock me how this cover has not been discovered… I wonder how much other Japanese covers has been missed ?
There is some very cool Clone Wars book’s cover. It won’t be disapoint ! ^^
Check back ! I post it later ^^
I look forward to bringing you the Japanese media the big Star Wars sites had missed. You will never have to miss out again ! ^___^
