The slow news period continues, so we’re just going to outsource our content to you. We asked for your dream Star Wars Expanded Universe novels, and you delivered. It seemed like there were some common themes, and one that really stuck out was the desire to see some female characters take the lead of a narrative. Many people asked for Leia, Winter, Mirax, and Mara books.
There were also a lot of people dreaming about a Valin and Jysella Horn novel. And, well …
@Tosche_Station that would be a lot of fun to write, no doubt about it.

A Skywalker family novel with Luke,Mara and Ben by Tim Zahn set before Legacy of the Force and Star Wars Episodes VII,VIII and IX in novel form perhaps based on what Lucas would have told it with Luke Skywalker as an Obi-Wan like Jedi Master living as a hermit on Tatooine or in the Unknown Regions taking on a final apprentice and dying in battle at the end of the third book(Episode IX). Also I would love a Galactic Alliance era novel with a Vong level threat with a clone of Thrawn teaming up with an adult Ben Skywalker and leading the GA forces against the new threat.
Or how about a Han Solo novel where Han and Chewie return to the Corporate Sector post-ROTJ and reunite with Doc,Jessa and Bollux and BlueMax and face a new threat there.
