July has come to an end, which means it's time to look ahead to the new month's Star Wars books and comics.

August has a little bit of everything for everyone. Although there are no new ongoing series starting, there are still some highlights.

I'm hyped for the new novel from The Bad Batch called Sanctuary, which takes place during season 2 as Clone Force 99 tries to save their island home of Pabu. Polygon shared an excerpt with one of my favorite ships, Tech and Phee Genoa, that basically made me lose my mind a bit. We're also starting to get early Spooky Season content with I Find Your Lack of Candy Disturbing out right at the start of the month, being one of the first Halloween-themed books to be released.

With comics, trades, novels, and magazines, August will not disappoint.
