Let's talk about the literature of that galaxy long ago and far, far away. What has been lost for Star Wars fans, now that the Expanded Universe has been reclassified as Legends? And what has been gained through the new works published as Canon? How did the Journey to the Force Awakens publications pave the way for the record-breaking film release? How are related texts now enhancing our understanding of the new era of Star Wars and ushering new generations into the fandom? What do today's Star Wars books (for children, young adults, and adults) tell us about the long-term vision of the LucasFilm Story Group? And, last but not least, is Star Wars literature "good" SF/F (whatever that means)?
