ace Windu: The Glass Abyss has received its first excerpt on StarWars.com along with a brief interview with author Steven Barnes.

What we learned:

  • Barnes wants to focus on Windu’s martial arts prowess - bringing Tartakovsky’s 2003 Star Wars: Clone Wars to mind
  • The Glass Abyss introduces a brand new underworld on the planet Metagos which is filled with crystal caverns
  • Barnes previously wrote the Star Wars novel The Cestus Deception in 2004

Between the lines:

  • The excerpt follows Windu’s introduction to New Xaxxis, capital city of the planet Metagos
  • Barnes introduces new alien species including Zilka, four-legged, armored bugs, and Metagosans, planet natives similar to Trandoshans
  • Mace’s search for information establishes the tone of noir, cyberpunk, and a detective novel

‍Going forward: Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss releases on October 15th, and you can read the full excerpt and listen to a sample of the audiobook now on StarWars.com
