The reception of Darth Plagueis serves to illustrate one of the ways the EU can be used effectively to reach a broad range of fans, including those who aren’t necessarily EU-focused but would be interested in movie-focused stories. The still underdeveloped backstories of the saga’s two female leads, Padmé Amidala and Leia Organa, provide the perfect opportunity to bring depth to the EU lore while also tapping into the interests of female fans.

REVIEW: Star Wars: Shadow Games

January 4, 2012January 4, 2012 Fangirl Del Rey, EU, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, Megan Crouse, Michael Reaves, review, Star Wars

I have to admit that some part of me felt like I should read Shadow Games, but it came down to an issue of priorities, and this book just wasn’t making the cut.
