If it was Lucasfilm's decision to remove her from the book, yes, but somehow I think that's unlikely. More likely, she was no longer up for it. (Or, third option, the cover they uploaded was erroneous and the foreword is still intact. Time will tell...)

The US release of that book was in May 2001. The German edition was first announced for 2006, but then ended up being cancelled. It was ultimately published in January 2012.

Star Wars Icons: Vader has been pushed back to April 2026, becoming one of the longest running gags in Star Wars publishing history, maybe only eclipsed by the German edition of Cloak of Deception.

Also, sorry for being AWOL for a while. Took a much-needed Star Wars break and will try to resume posting the stuff I find. (This account is only meant to complement official news etc., not to re-post what everyone else is posting anyway, so as usual, expect a narrower focus.)

(The manga is already available in some markets - outside of Japan, the one I know of is Germany.)

The November wave of the #StarWarsLegends Essential Collection. Let's hope Inkstone does some hardcovers of these, because at least in my book (or rather, for my books) HC > PB. But if PBs are your thing, here you go.

This TPB has also been retitled STAR WARS: NEW REPUBLIC. Somehow, we're not confident this series will go past issue #10 with a naming scheme and TPB release like that.

The Star Wars Splash Page Podcast @starwarssplashpage.com · Jun 10

Well this is intriguing. The original solicit for Jan. 6's #StarWars (Vol. 4) TPB collecting issues 1-6 has been removed, for now, but over at Amazon and Target, it's now due out either in May or June and is going to collect the series' first 10 issues.
