Let me list those stages first before going into more detail on each of them. And after that date, there is a staged publishing schedule that regulates the flow of officially approved movie spoilers. Let’s start with the most obvious question: When will there be books introducing us to the new movie? The answer is: not before September 2015. Also, for the purposes of this article, we will ignore movie-based calendars, which you can already find aplenty on Amazon, to be released as early as July. While the juicy details will not be revealed before Celebration Anaheim, we already know surprisingly much and can deduce quite a bit more. Some of this information is based on leaks from here and here that have since been corroborated by official listings in publishing catalogues and on Amazon (more on that later).

None of the information in this article is strictly speaking new – it has been floating around the world wide web for a while, though for some part only in German at my main project – but it has never been compiled in this fashion and odds are you will discover some bits of information that you have missed previously.

This post will summarize what is known so far and make a few educated guesses. With The Force Awakens on the horizon, publishers will launch all kinds of new novels, junior novels, children’s books and reference books leading up to and accompanying the movie’s release.
