xiv John Jackson Miller
right? Very simply, we trust in the Force, and we trust one another. We
came together as a group and found the best talent: people who, like
you and me, love Star Wars and want to make it great. Who want to
capture the feeling that it gave all of us, that inspired all of us. More than
at any other time in its existence, new Star Wars stories are being told
every day. More important, the old concept of what is canon and what
isn’t is gone, and from this point forward our stories and characters all
exist in the same universe; the key creatives who work on the films, television,
comic books, video games, and novels are all connected creatively
for the first time in the history of the Star Wars universe.
A New Dawn is a result of this method of story collaboration here at
Lucasfilm. As executive producers of Star Wars Rebels, Greg Weisman,
Simon Kinberg, and I had input on the story and characters, working
with author John Jackson Miller. I even got to make comments on the
look of Kanan and Hera for the cover— maybe a small detail to some,
but it was exciting to be a part of that process, and to know the characters
would remain true to their intended design. I really hope you enjoy
this story, and that it enriches your experience and knowledge of the
characters in Star Wars Rebels. There are still countless worlds to visit,
countless aliens to meet, and with the incredible talent we have coming
to work at Lucasfilm the way forward looks clear.
Last I must thank you. Whether this is your first Star Wars adventure,
or one of many over the years: Thank you. Thank you for your dedication
to and passion for the Star Wars galaxy. Because of fans like you
around the world, the Force will be with us, always.

Supervising Director, Star Wars Rebels
