Overview
Set eight years after the events of the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and seven years before Star Wars Rebels, A New Dawn introduces the television series characters Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla.[1]
Publication
With the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, most of the licensed Star Wars novels and comics produced since the originating 1977 film Star Wars were rebranded as Star Wars Legends and declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014.[1][2][3][4] A New Dawn was subsequently announced as the first of four canon novels to be released in 2014 and 2015.[1][4]
