20 NOVELS?! Journey to The Force Awakens!

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/09/star-wars-release-20-books-journey-force-awakens

They're going to be releasing 20 novels to fill (or partially fill) the time gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. TWENTY.

I like that.

My wallet just leapt out the f*cking window and made a break for it.

I'd rather be reading them than the Dark Nest crisis or Vong novels tbh.

Disney just sucking up the ****ing moolah.

Still need to read all the novels that just released.

20 *books*. That includes juvenile ones and non-story ones, not just novels.

The novel Aftermath: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aftermath

And Lost Stars: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lost_Stars

Damn, it doesn't really reveal much in the summary for Aftermath.

I'm curious about the new canon novels, how will they write Jedi? I'm not used to reading books where they aren't fighting faster than the eye can see and whatnot.

I wouldn't worry really, the Jedi/Sith will probably still have their speed. Even in the movie novels, you had everyone moving at or reacting at super speeds. Heck even in the movies, you had them moving in blurs(IE Luke against Vader on Bespin).

So I'm sure, Jedi/Sith will still have pretty nifty reaction/speeds and the like, especially since in the movies this is already shown.

There is a lot of rumor about it... They don't know where are they going....

Terribly I expect.

Granted the EU was hurt quite badly by prequelisation but we still had works like "Tales of the Jedi" and "Children of the Jedi" to provide a positive influence. The New Jedi Order and the series that followed it still continued on what was established prior to prequelisation.

Now, now, they'll be based entirely on the Prequels. What little variety we had left will now be non-existent. Before we had examples of Jedi who were different to the PT-era so when some moron went "how can Luke have a son?" we could explain it to them. Now I'm afraid they'll have Luke being a copy of the PT Jedi even though that makes no sense at all.

These new books will be lame.

Sorry, didn't mean to double post.

Nah, remember the Legends stuff can still work their way into the new canon. TOTJ and all the Old Republic stuff can still be used to write Jedi.

Uh, false.
