Fans of Star Wars Beyond the Films have, from time to time, heard about From the Star Wars Library, my YouTube video series that explores the Star Wars publishing line (novels, comics, etc.) in publication order. The goals are simple: to explore how the Star Wars Expanded Universe developed, while also highlighting my giant EU collection for fellow collectors.

A short while ago, Riley and Mark suggested that I bring this series to the Star Wars Report website to make it easier for interested fans to check out, one big ol’ chunk at a time.

So, continue down below to check out the first episodes in the series, beginning with the series introduction (#0) and onward into the Star Wars EU publications released between the end of 1976 and the beginning of January 1979.

Book Review: ‘Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void’

Title: Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void
Author: Tim Lebbon
Release Date: May 7, 2013

Into the Void is the third Star Wars novel released in 2013 and is very much different from the first two. In January we got Scoundrels, the highly anticipated novel by Star Wars writer royalty Tim Zahn. February saw the release of The Last Jedi, a novel that was basically the unofficial 4th book of the Coruscant Nights series. Scoundrels featured a large cast of characters including film characters Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca. The Last Jedi didn’t have any of our film good guys but did feature Darth Vader as the main villain.

Into the Void had no film characters to rely on to attract the casual readers. It didn’t even have the familiar eras. In fact it started it’s own era, “Before the Republic” (yes the Dawn of the Jedi comics officially started this era but Into the Void is the first novel). Hopefully this unfamiliarity will not drive off readers, because I believe the strength of this book is how different it is.
