Hello, hello! Welcome back,
Rebescum fans! This week on the site, we’re headed into the jungle planet of Felucia. It’s a tragic site for the
Star Wars universe, as it is the planet where the beloved fan-favorite Jedi Master Aayla Secura meets her end during Order 66. Felucia has a much more important role in the
Star Wars galaxy than you may have realized; it played a major role in The Clone Wars, the Old Republic era, and many storylines in the Expanded Universe. Stay tuned throughout the week for more articles, insights, videos, and information about the best merchandising you’ll want to add to your collection.
Felucia got a larger role in the Expanded Universe, but not every planned project within the
Star Wars universe saw the light of day. For one reason or another, some
Star Wars storylines were planned, but then never completed. Check out our guide to some canceled
Star Wars books that nearly made it into canon.
The Heart of the JediAuthor Kenneth C. Flint had begun developing a novel in the late 1990s that took place immediately after the destruction of the second Death Star. Due to creative disagreements with Lucasfilm, Flint’s novel was pulled from release.
Legacy of DoomAuthor Margaret Weis planned to write a follow up to
The Heart of the Jedi, but went through similar creative hardships. She removed herself from the project due to a difference of opinion of the novel’s tone and characterization.
Alien ExodusOne of the most intriguing canceled novels,
Alien Exodus would have explored the origins of the human species within the
Star Wars universe. The ambitious novel would have connected
Star Wars to Earth, and canonized Lucas’ other two films,
THX-1138 and
American Graffiti.
Blood OathElaine Cunningham began writing this romantic novel that would have explored Jaina Solo’s adventures and soul searching after the events of the
Legacy of the Force series. Certain elements of the story, including Jaina’s relationship with Jagged Fel, were incorporated into the
Fate of the Jedi series.
The Sword of the JediFollowing the purchase of Lucasfilm by Disney, many novels were canceled that would have expanded the post-
Return of the Jedi timeline.
The Sword of the Jedi trilogy was intended to take place after
Fate of the Jedi, picking up with Ben Skywalker and Allana Solo after Luke’s return to Coruscant.
