Final Covers For Star Wars Episode III Books

StarWars.com announces that April 2nd will see the start of the Episode III publishing program, with several major Revenge of the Sith tie-ins hitting bookshelves well over a month before the theatrical debut of the final Star Wars film. At the time of that report, only solicitation covers were available for some of the books. Here are the finished covers for four key Episode III titles.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
The novelization of the final Star Wars film adapts the story of Anakin's fall to the dark side. Novelist Matthew Stover met with George Lucas to discuss the storyline of the film. As a result, the novel includes all new sequences that won't be found in movie theaters. But more importantly, Stover gets inside the heads of the characters, and depicts these dramatic events from their points of view. This book will be released in hardcover with simultaneous audio release on CD and cassette. The cover design is by Dave Stevenson.


The Making of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
Author J.W. Rinzler tracks the entire production of the film, from the earliest Art Department explorations to the evolution of the script, from the start of principal photography in Sydney, Australia, to the additional photography in England as well as the visual effects wizardry of Industrial Light & Magic. Witness the changing face of cinema as detailed from a Lucasfilm insider who has followed Episode III from its earliest days. The cover design is by Dave Stevenson.


Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Graphic Novel Adaptation
Dark Horse presents the epic visuals and dramatic story of Episode III in comic book format, with illustrations by Doug Wheatley and a script by Miles Lane. The comic version will be available as four single issues in April, and as a trade paperback graphic novel that same month. Here's a look at the collected version with cover art by Tsuneo Sanda.
