According to Edelweiss, Star Wars: The Essential Characters is getting pushed back…way back…to March 1, 2016. The book, written by Daniel Wallace and illustrated by Doug Wheately, was set for an April 15, 2014 release. There hasn’t been much promotion of the book as of late, which is understandable considering the situation with Disney and Episode VII.
The large jump in the release could indicate that the publishing arm wants to delay the book in order to include characters from the new sequel films. If so, the content of the book could be getting a drastic change from the previously planned content. If they do add new characters, it’s unknown as of yet whether Doug Wheatley will be handling the additions or if a new artist will be brought in. Either way, there’s a lot up in the air with the release change.
