Here is a preview of the upcoming children Star Wars book The Mandalorian and the Child, which chronicles the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu in the distinguished style of artist Jeffrey Brown. Brown previously created the other Star Wars books Darth Vader and Son and Vader’s Little Princess.
Lucasfilm Publishing has released a first look at the cover of The Mandalorian and Child, as well as some of the inside art featuring other characters like IG-11, Kuill, Ahsoka Tano the little Rancor from The Book of Boba Fett, and more.
Brown told StarWars.com, “Years before the Mandalorian series premiered, someone asked me to draw Yoda as a baby, so I just drew him in a diaper. I had no idea I’d see a show someday with ‘Baby Yoda” — but I loved seeing Grogu become so much more. Getting to build my take on Mando and Grogu is refreshingly fun, and the way their relationship mixes friendship and family is the kind of heartwarming feeling I love to put into my work. Especially when it comes to drawing IG droids, stormtroopers, rancors and Boba Fett, of course!”
Michael Siglain, Creative Director, Lucasfilm Publishing, added, “We are extremely excited to welcome Jeffrey Brown to a galaxy far, far away,” added Michael Siglain, Creative Director, Lucasfilm Publishing. “As with Vader and Son and all of its subsequent lovable titles, Jeffrey brings his signature style and clever sense of humor to the world of The Mandalorian, and the result is both heartfelt and hilarious. Fans of the show and fans of the Jeffrey’s first movie the books are a real treat!”
