Star Wars Insider issue 222 marks the 200th release of the Star Wars Insider magazine, brought to you by Titan Magazines. Its release date was October 31, 2023.
In this edition, the major highlight is the return of The High Republic short stories to Insider. We are pleased to introduce Lydia Kang, the author of the initial installment in her fresh series of stories – accompanied by illustrations from Star Wars concept artist Jake Lunt Davies! – which launches Phase III of the Lucasfilm Publishing initiative. Also featured is the concluding story in our series of "Galactic Tales" connected to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, focusing this time on the plight of certain inhabitants within Jabba the Hutt's palace in a brand-new narrative by Richard Dinnick.
Within these pages, we present an interview with Tim Rose, the puppeteer who brought Admiral Ackbar to life in Return of the Jedi. Additionally, there's an insightful conversation with Kevin Kiner, the composer for Star Wars: Ahsoka, alongside his collaborators (and children) Sean and Deana. Furthermore, you'll find an essential companion piece to The Mandalorian season three, along with the final segment of our discussion with Dennis Muren and Ken Ralston from Industrial Light & Magic.
