‘I have never wanted to suggest that my wartime experiences were any more important or heroic than any other pilot. But so many of them are gone now and I am still here. Their words deserve to be heard’ - Wedge Antilles 'Star Wars: Star Pilots' Oct 2026 (DK) geni.us/StarWarsStar...

If you’re looking for the two latest Star Wars books at the Barnes & Noble at the Americana: sorry. Snagged them on Wed night. Also had the BEST interaction with a bookstore staff in ages…

With my Star Wars books so far I’ve tended to conceive of them in a particular way. ‘Rise and Fall’ was a horror (as in ‘to be horrified’) story. ‘Star Pilots’ is a ‘mystery’ story. What does that mean? It means it might ask you to unravel multiple mysteries in its pages. Read it carefully.
