This box contained a Lucasfilm gift for employees (a Crowley record player). On the exterior packaging you can see few Lucasfilm logos we’re familiar with for upcoming projects and one we haven’t seen before.
Tales of the Jedi!
People are speculating on what that is. My bet is that it’s Taika Waititi’s upcoming project and that it deals with the earliest history of the Jedi.
Personally, I’m speculating on Tales of the Jedi and Dawn of the Jedi from Dark Horse.
You can check out keys from those runs over here at WookyWiki.com.
They are pretty intentional with these employee gifts. My brother-in-law’s high school friend works on CG effects for Marvel and Lucasfilm in Southeast Asia. Every year for Christmas I get something from the Lucasfilm gift shop or an employee gift from him by way of my BIL.
They don’t unintentionally design these things. A print shop was sent those specific logos to print and once they are in the hands of Lucasfilm employees at least a handful end up on eBay. The execs know this. It’s an intentional leak.
Nomi Sunrider’s first was Dark Horse Comics 7 (2/1993). Not so much a preview as a anthology serialization of the story from Tales of the Jedi 3 and 4. Tales of the Jedi 3 came out 12/1993, so a really significant delay between the two appearances.
Dark Horse Comics 7, 8, and 9 (as discussed above).
Tales of the Jedi 1:
First Appearance:
Arca Jeth,
Tott Doneeta,
Cay Qel-Droma,
Ulic Qel-Droma.
Star Wars Galaxy Magazine 1 (sealed polybag) 9/1994:
Came with Dark Lords of the Sith Ashcan with first appearance of Exar Kun, a Sith Lord from the old republic and large element of old canon.
I also really love Dark Lords of the Sith because it shows Exar Kun building the Great Temple on Yavin IV that the Rebels operated out of during A New Hope.

This page is pretty telling to me. It says the tale will be told in three parts in Dark Horse Comics. It doesn’t say “Will later be fully told in such and such series”
