Ricky Church talks Star Wars with Sam Maggs, author of the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor prequel novel Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars…
With Star Wars Jedi: Survivor set for release at the end of April, fans can get a look at what Cal Kestis and the crew of the Stinger Mantis have been up to since the conclusion of Jedi: Fallen Order in the lead-in novel Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, written by author, video game and comics writer Sam Maggs.
Maggs has had an extensive career in writing, primarily writing for video games such as Call of Duty: Vanguard, Anthem and the Spider-Man DLC The City That Never Sleeps. On the comics front, she has written Captain Marvel, IDW’s Transformers/My Little Pony crossover and a graphic novel adaptation of Fangirl. She has been a huge fan of the galaxy far, far away nearly all her life which, coupled with her love of and experience in video games, made Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars an exciting project to work on.
Our discussion touched on adapting the setting of Jedi to a novel, capturing the perspectives of each character and Maggs’ experience writing in such vastly different genres.
