Escape from Valo

Publisher's summary[]

Centuries before the Clone Wars or the Empire, it is a dangerous time for the galaxy, and the Jedi of the High Republic must face their greatest trials yet….

One of the Jedi stuck behind enemy lines is Padawan Ram Jomaram, doing his best to help the people of his home planet, Valo, survive Nihil occupation while keeping his Jedi identity hidden.

Alyssa Wong teasedEscape From Valo with an image of a comic depicting a tired person trying to ignore a massive argument behind them,^[5] with Wong also sharing that image with Older as a description of their book. In the month ahead of release, Wong resolved to post a teaser everyday, starting with the image of the person ignoring an argument.^[6] The second teaser was a meme Wong had sent to Older during the development process—an image ofMargot Robbie's Barbie smiling outside a burning house—but without any context from that conversation.^[7]
