Dawson(Black Spire), Kevin Shinik(Force Collector), Ethan Stacks(Star Wars: Allegiance), and Rebecca Roanhorse(Resistance Reborn).

On writing the trio of Rey, Rose, and Poe for Spark Of Resistance, Justina Ireland says “It was daunting, so I added Porgs” #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Justina Ireland describes her villain for Spark Of Resistance as a combination of every commanding officer she ever had. Also says she enjoyed contrasting the way the Resistance and First Order groups work together. #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Justina Ireland on the message of Spark Of Resistance: “You can’t start a fire without a spark”#NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Rebecca Roanhorse says it was “mildly terrifying” to write her first #StarWars book set between Episode VIII and IX. The book is described as a “love letter” to SW. #NYCC— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
In Resistance Reborn, Rebecca Roanhorse says Poe carries a lot of shame because of his actions in TLJ, and how he got a lot of people killed with his mutiny. #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Ethan Sacks says his comic book series “Allegiance” is about General Leia taking a team (including Rey and Rose) to Mon Cala to look for allies, while at the same time Finn and Poe are looking to replenish the Resistance’s supply of weapons. #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019

Ethan Sacks says when his story opens Kylo Ren is angry and really wants to find Rey and the Resistance, so any people or planets that gets in his way are made an example of, leading to a very brutal opening to “Allegiance” #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Kevin Shinick says Force Collector is about a character in the outer rim who is Force sensitive and has to go out into the galaxy to learn about the Force and the Jedi on his own. #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Kevin Shinick says he got a call from Lucasfilm after submitting his draft for Force Collector telling him he had inadvertantly written a big segment of Episode IX in his story. So he had to rewrite it.#NYCC #StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Kevin Shinik, who also wrote for #StarWarsDetours, says there’s always hope for that series. Ashley Eckstein suggests/jokes about Disney+ as a home for it. #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Delilah Dawson says she didn’t know when she wrote Phasma and Black Spire that Vi Moradi would be a living character walking around #GalaxysEdge. Says she gets so excited anytime she meets Vi. #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Delilah Dawson says Black Spire is about the citizens of Baatu who don’t really keep up with the conflicts between the Reistance and The Force Order, and what it takes for someone to decide to stand up and pick a side.#NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Matt Martin says the day that the story of #GalaxysEdge happens is about half way between TLJ and TROS. Also says that they developed the outline for the various arcs and stories that needed to happen between the films before assigning those stories to the various authors. #NYCC— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Rebecca Roahorse says there’s a scene in Resistance Reborn where Poe has to teach Finn how to tie a tie, because he grew up as a stormtrooper and never learned. #NYCC #StarWars— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
Marc Thompson says before he started doing audiobooks he wasn’t much of reader, and when his agent called about doing audiobooks he didn’t really want to do it....until he heard it was a #StarWars audiobook and then immediately wanted to do it.#NYCC— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
It’s a wrap on the #StarWars Journey to #TheRiseOfSkywalker panel! Thanks to all involved for a great show! #NYCC— The Star Wars Underworld (@TheSWU) October 5, 2019
