In case you live on planet Mars and haven't heard the biggest news this side of the Klingon Empire, there is a new Star Wars film currently smashing all box office records... which means it's making a shit load of money. Is there a better time than now to have a 6 volume box set of novelizations of the first films up for sale? No there isn't... at least I don't think there is. Maybe if we had a Wookiee invasion or if we found out that those fluffy teddy bear things from the third film (which ended up being the sixth film) were real, then there may also be a certain interest in 6 novelizations of these blockbuster movies... and who knows, I may even make some money on the whole Star Wars phenomenon.

I read somewhere that there are a few Star Wars titles (not movie novelizations) that have been removed from our galaxy, due to changing historical perspectives on what is really just a made up world(s), in other words, these non film stories don't stack up within a rejigged Star Wars Universe. I guess this means that these books are now rare and once the millions* of copies out there have started to disappear, then the value on the few remaining historically and narratively incorrect, books will start to be worth the big $. If only I could remember what the titles were... or if I had a real interest. Confession: I'm not a fan. Yep... not much to say there, other than... I'm not a fan.

So will there be a rush for 6 books which are retellings of the first 6 films, 3 of which are not considered to be of the best within the saga? Well, so far, NO. But i've got A New Hope that there will be a Return and Star Wars book sales will Strike Back.

*Star Wars is big.
