today I learned that nobody cares about the sequel trilogy. nobody. People have been hardcore star wars novel dorks for 50 years now and not even they cared enough to be a market for a boxed set of the sequel trilogy novelizations. You can get them individually. Sometimes with added length. Matthew Stover recently put out a version of his novelization of Revenge of the Sith with EDGE PAINTING AND 170+ *ANNOTATIONS BY THE AUTHOR* A PREQUEL MOVIE'S NOVELIZATION and still these nerds as a market don't care about the Disney mainline star wars movies (don't get me wrong I am absolutely one of those nerds)

hold my hand. imagine an epub. it's got all 9 Star Wars novelizations in it. Peace an love on planet earth. imagine an epub. it's got all 3 sequel novelizations in it. Not as satisfying, but now it fits in with the 3pubs of the prequel and original trilogies. A trilogy of trilogies, as the Mouse has foreseen. Open your eyes. Each book you have to get separately. Two of them have an expanded edition. Neither of them is the good one. The darkness encroaches. Solo: A Star Wars Story: A Movie: A Novel got an expanded edition. Rogue One didn't. a baby starts to cry. You wish you could tell it it'll be alright. You're not sure any more. hope. Matthew Stover's masterpiece gets a deluxe edition, lovingly and thoughtfully annotated by the man himself. A sweet treat to savor at the end. You can make it. and by you I of course mean me. I got a lot of reading to do.
