A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I started reading these books…
The Star Wars Expanded Universe is a big place, and one that’s easy to get lost in. To the extent that my bookshelf allows, every Tuesday I will be guiding you through the EU with (generally) chronologically placed reviews of [...]

Galactic Binder posted their interview with Randy Stradley today and he hinted at a Lone. Female. Jedi.  Could this rather vague hint have anything to do with the scecret Star Wars project that Tom Taylor hinted to on April 16th, May 7th, June 1st, and  June 4th?  The jury is still out on that, but we will continue [...]
