Our buddy Dean Plantamura of the 501st Legion sent over the following news that may interest those fans eagerly anticipating the release of The Jedi Path by Daniel Wallace...


"The 501st Legion is proud to partner with Star Wars author Daniel Wallace to promote the release of his new book The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force. The new "in universe" text book reveals secrets, techniques and teachings for aspiring Jedi as well as "handwritten" commentary from the likes of Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Count Dooku and Yoda. A true collectors item, The Jedi Path comes complete with a Star Wars-styled mechanical outer shell, authentic Star Wars sound effects and a selection of removable Jedi artifacts. Fans are eligible to win one of three autographed blow-ups from the 160-page book, as well as a copy of the Vault Edition of The Jedi Path itself, by simply "retweeting" quotes from the book as posted on Twitter by the 501st Legion through September 28th.
