There have been hundreds of books that have been published by various authors that take place in the Star Wars Universe, mostly printed by Random House under license. In the 30 years since the initial volume hit the shelves, these books never seem to fade in the mind of readers, like many do, and have managed to stay in print all this time. It’s the legacy of Lucas and his ability to keep Star Wars in the mindset of generation after generation that these books remain this popular after that many years. Everybody wants to know what happened to our favorite characters besides what could be shown in the 20 hours or so of the six film episodes.
So Random House is now releasing the volumes of Star Wars fiction as electronic books (e-books). There have been a couple dozen already released, but the publisher plans to release all of them (106 different titles) by June 28th of this year. The ones that are available right now are on e-book sellers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble’s websites, as well as other popular online retailers.
The books also include bonus content not found in the actual novels like excerpts from other titles, a history of the entire timespan from the Old Republic to the Legacy, and other tidbits.
