    I'll check it out down the line, thanks. I just got into the comics and I still have some catching up to do on the novels (Life Debt and Battlefront) and there are only so many hours in the day. If I ever catch up with the adult, comic, and young adult slate, I'm sure I'll expand to YR.

    I use Wookiepedia's "Timeline of Canon Media" page to track this stuff and it's unfortunate that there's not an easier way to identify the YR content that's worth reading versus the stuff that's REALLY for little kids.

    Yes, it's YA like Lost Stars and Ahsoka.

    I wanted to know more about her time with Saw and the details of her young adult life. Can't wait for this.

    As a rule, when using the Wook timeline page, anything they classify as "YR" is kids stuff, (basic re-tellings - learning to read books etc.) whereas items they mark as "JR" covers all middle grade and YA novels.

    Although the Wook doesnt include them in their timeline, there is only 2 "YR" content that is original. Rebels to the Rescue and Bounty Hunt

    Not the case. They categorize both Ahsoka and Lost Stars as "N" for "Novel."

    This is what excites me most about star wars spin off films. New books for new characters to expand on new movie moments!

    With this coming along with a Chirrut and Baze book all we need is a novel about..... (breaths in dramatically) Bor Gullet! :p

    For UK-based posters who want a hardback copy:
    These take your money at point of order, Amazon does not:
    Only Q is who'll get copies or not.

    EDIT: Should have included this - the way it worked last time on the JtTFA books, the US copies could be bought online up until a few weeks before publication, then for the UK, it was paperback only.

    Nor did I hear about anyone ever seeing the hardbacks in a UK bookshop, they could only be got online.

    It'll probably be the same again, as the same UK company is offering paperback version, so would suggest if you want a hardback, get your pre-order in quick!

    I'm surprised that this isn't a Del Rey release. I guess though given how old Jyn is going to be in this novel it would fit better in the YA category than being released by Del Rey.

    Did you actually think that I thought there was a law that would force me to read it?

    There isn't a law that requires me to read YA novels?

    You know, a dystopian society that forces teenagers to read YA novels against their will, and kills the ones who read the least a year or something, would make a good premise for a YA novel series

    Naturally it would have a juicy love triangle. The main girl would be plain yet also gorgeous, and would like to read, but thinks that you have to CHOOSE to read for it to mean anything. Boyfriend 1 would be a nerdy guy with a great heart and surprising leadership skills, who reads the most books a year if anyone, and whom everyone but the protagonist knows is perfect for her. Boyfriend 2 would be a hothead, rebellious guy who thinks reading is for losers, who wants to bring down the system, and who the main character finds totally dreamy

    Let's hire some attractive 30 year old teenagers and make this thing

    You know people, people they write with these big words to confuse us, you know, they're confusing us, they're doing this on purpose, and I have people, very smart people, believe me, that tell me that the best writing, believe me the best, is on a fourth grade level or lower, I know because that's how I write, and I write words, the best words, so I'm gonna make it a law, make it a law, that all writing has to be easily understood by me, no more confusing, confusing big words.

    You know what's really scary? That we've all acquired Trump English ability so damn fast.

    Trump vocabulary is marked by its limited nature. Mostly it's the repetition of "good" over and over again complete with circular hand gestures as if he's trying to hypnotize you.

    Bush vocabulary on the other hand was marked it's limited nature and its tendency to be grammatically incorrect.

    Is we learning yet?

    I'd watch the films. Even the Happy Clappy Hollywood versions where the Bad Ending gets served as a Not So Bad Ending.

    By bad I mean sad, not bad as in poorly written. It was the ending we deserved. I was just happy that the correct nutter got arrowed.

    Yes, I have it preordered with Amazon for Release date delivery. Also have Guardians of the Whills which should be shipping with it.

    Love the price guarantee on Amazon. Getting both for just under $19.
