Lit New Empire and Rebellion Book Series

Is Sword of the Jedi in the timeline for any recent books or do they not put things into the timeline until a few months before the novel is released?

 

That. We don't even know the separate names of SOTJ's books, and they'd need that to be in the timeline. You know, it's odd. Unless Razor's Edge is in Kenobi's timeline, it's the first book in a long time not to have a new book in its timeline.

 

Their profits went up. Random House gets 70% of the retail price for any ebook sale, versus about 50% of the retail price for print versions. And Random House prices the ebooks of their MMPBs at the same price as the print version.

 

I would guess then it's because their sales have gone down.

 

After skimming the last couple pages of this thread, I should say that the book is way closer to ESB than ANH.

Also, should we maybe edit the thread title so people don't think this is related to the TV show?

 

"Luke Skywalker's X-Wing squadron"

Sold.

 

Like I said on Twitter I'd like to see some sweet Dogfights between X-Wings and Tie Fighters.

 

"One thing she had learned in the two years since the Battle of Yavin was that knowing too much about Han and Chewbacca's non-Alliance-related business, past and present, just made her left eyelid twitch."

 

...yes, that's what I was referring to. Though given that they're already setting up Echo Base I think there's wiggle room for it to be at least a few months further than 2 ABY exactly.

 

I fear it will be more of a cameo when it comes to Luke. In the Rebel era books it's usually Han who gets the writers attention...

 

Honor Among Thieves is the Han-centric book, so yeah it'll be a cameo. Doesn't matter, though. X-Wing Luke, even for just a few pages, is still awesome!

 

I wish I could share your optimism...

 

Optimism? Me? When it comes to Star Wars books? Hahahahahahaha.

Seriously though, just the mention of Luke's X-Wing squadron in the "Han" book blurb makes me smile .I'm waiting impatiently for more info about Kevin Hearne's novel, which will be Luke-centric and hopefully focus more on his piloting.

 

The blurb reminds me too much of the CoO blurb...

But I DO look forward to Hearne's book!

 

I am the only one who actually would want a trilogy of a Lando, Mon Mothma and Crix Madine novel instead?

 

Ree Yees, Ephant Mons, and Salacious B. Crumb trilogy plz.

 

Those would make better comics.

 

Salacious B. Crumb is the most underutilized character in the EU so I'll take what I can get.

 

That would be awesome. A story on the break between Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis maybe?

A Lando novel is a thing that needs to happen. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

 

Edit:

I want moar!

 

Here you go.

 

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure Havac read those already. I think he'd like MORE Lando.
