The covers for the three books that will be re-released next as part of Del Rey’s continuing Star Wars: The Essential Legends Collection campaign have been revealed. Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, Death Troopers, and X-Wing: The Krytos Trap will be the three new books in this fourth wave of re-releases. They’ll be released on August 2, 2022.
This announcement comes just weeks after the fifth wave of titles was reportedly leaked by Edelweiss, a publishing industry site, indicating a release date of November 1, 2022, for those titles.
Now, with the fourth wave covers officially revealed, let’s take a closer look at them below:
The Krytos Trap; Essential Legends paperback & unabridged audiobook coming Aug 2, 2022

Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter; Essential Legends paperback & unabridged audiobook coming Aug 2, 2022

Death Troopers; Essential Legends paperback coming Aug 2, 2022

As you may notice, currently it appears that only Darth Maul: Shadow and X-Wing: The Krytos Trap will be getting the audiobook treatment. We’ve reached out to Del Rey for a response but as of writing this article, we’ve received none. However, we will update this promptly if we do.
Make sure to grab your copies of these Star Wars books later this summer on August 2.
