Books From a Certain Point of View, [A New Hope] 40th anniversary anthology novel (#OperationBlueMilk)

Well, there goes some more money out of my wallet.

BUT I MUST HAVE IT!

 

GRIFFIN MCELROY!???!!?!?!?

GOTTA HAVE MY STAR VAPE

 

If they bring back the "Tales of" series I will throw a freaking party.

 

Or is this perhaps some 'Journey to the Last Jedi' series with a specific focus on Luke Skywalker? It seems unlikely to be a 'Tales' anthology with that sheer number of authors (although it is entirely possible and I may regret having written this come tomorrow)! Either way, this is so exciting! I'm sure it will be amazing!

 

Sure, except not all of us can go to celebration. Also, they're releasing a new book the week of celebration as it is, which has a celebration exclusive variant cover. I don't see the need to have another brand-new book on their table.

 

I obtained the audiobooks (all three!) from my local library to listen to on the way to and back from Celebration. I can't wait to hear them.

 

So this is Sword of the Jedi, right? We're all in agreement?

 

I wish.

I still hold out hope that we may see a couple or three legends novels per year some day in the future.

 

Nah, it's definitely Revan.

 

It's Paul Kemp's duology, combined in one!!

 

Lightsider or GTFO.

 

Revenge of Triocolus

 

A couple or three a year? I'm guessing one every couple/few years would be the best people could hope for. You have to remember that if they put out a legends novel that would take up a slot for a novel they could make as a tie in to the movies.

 

It's Alien Exodus.

 

woah I figured it out.
Blue Milk=Luke
19 authors=19 shorts=19 years of Luke's life between III-IV, from baby Luke to whiny 19 year old Luke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No No. Del Rey is taking over the horrendous evilnous that Jay Bonansinga has turned the Walking Dead book series into and is bringing Lilly Caul back some respect.

Edit....Oop my bad. Didn't know Alien Exodus was an actual Star Wars title in production at one time.

 

Maybe because it's the SW 40th celebration they are doing an anthology book with short stories that crossover the spam of SW from APM to TLJ, and maybe while they're 19 authors they're working on couples for each story so we may have around 9 stories?

I'd be fine with side short stories involving characters from the whole saga, I don't think that they're only focusing between ROTJ - TLJ, who knows, tomorrow we will find out, damn, the SW books are so cool and such an amazing piece of the mythology.

 

Wait, let's go even further back. What was the very first, original, canceled SW project? ... The film adaptation of Splinter of the Mind's Eye? Yeah, let's go with that. This project is that.

 

In honor of the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope, this unique anthology features Star Wars stories by bestselling authors, trendsetting artists, and treasured voices from Star Wars’ literary history. Over 40 authors have lent their unique vision to 40 “scenes,” each retelling a different moment from the original Star Wars film, but with a twist: every scene is told from the point of view of a seemingly minor character. Whether it’s the X-wing pilots who helped Luke destroy the Death Star or the stormtroopers who never did find the droids they were looking for, Star Wars: From A Certain Point of View places the classic movie in a whole new perspective.

I have always wanted another book set during the classic trilogy!



YUGE /s guys I am not a fan of this instantly.

I mean, c'mon. Can we get past the OT (focus)? This one is especially heinous because I am interested in what is going on in this time period, but what this anthology is specifically doing is dumb.

"Relive your favorite Star Wars the movie moments again again again again!"

 

What an opportunity to flesh out ANH ! Legends fans will be eagerly awaiting this I can imagine, good chance of recanonisation.
