What the press think: "Cuts like a lightsabre - Skywalker doesn't hold back in this revealing account of an epic journey" - Tatooine Times

Admiral Ackbar - It's a Book!

Synopsis: Keen to escape his catchphrase and exhibit his linguistic ability, Ackbar demonstrates a hitherto unknown love of complex poetry and philosophy. Unfortunately for him his publishers insisted on the title, It's a book!, as "it will shift more units"

Darth Vader - Who's The Daddy?

Synopsis: Fed up with being typecast as the bad guy, Vader unveils a softer side to his character, including an unexpected love of vintage trains.

What the press think: "A worthy counterpoint to Luke Who's Talking; Vader shows that it's not all about the dark side. A must-read for all would-be parents" - Empire

Bobba Fett - Jango & Cash

Synopsis: Everyone's favourite bounty hunter lifts the lid on his mercenary life, and recounts the harrowing moment when he saw his clone father, Jango, decapitated. An event that all readers can relate to.

What the press think: "A wild western tale of a top notch rogue and contract killing, Fett is fantastic!" - Hunter's Bazaar

General Grievous - Generally Speaking

Synopsis: Unfairly portrayed as an unthinking, ruthless cyborg killing machine, Grievous opens up with existential thoughts on our role in the universe and the future of droidkind

Han Solo - Solo: Is It Me You're Looking For?

Synopsis: Solo reveals the man behind the myth in a rattling tale of his stories and scrapes, while on the run from the universes top bounty hunters.

Greedo - Give The Guy a Han

Synopsis: From his hospital bed, Greedo finally clears up the mystery of his ultimately fateful encounter with Han Solo in a must-read autobiography.

What the press think: "At last - conclusive proof that Han did shoot first! Straight from the Greedo's mouth. Hang on...that's on the advance press version....apparently it's changed in the final one....or has it? Let me ring the publisher..." - Mos Eisley Money

Andrew Tauntaun - Spilling My Guts

Synopsis: One Tauntaun unwittingly rises above all others to safeguard Luke Skywalker's life. A tale of self-sacrifice and courage, even though it was already dead.

Jabba - My Jibba

Synopsis: The crime lord extraordinaire presents his views on life, the universe, and evil deeds in a thousand-page treatise of gangster stories and boasts.

What the press think: "A sluggish read, heavily overweight; you'd have to pay me a massive bounty to finish this book" - Good Food Magazine

The Sarlacc - Me and My Big Mouth

Synopsis: Formerly known only as a strange creature whose prey suffer a prolonged and agonising death, a Sarlacc shows a lighter side to its character

What the press think: "Who'd have thought it? Whilst undoubtedly an evil killing machine, the Sarlacc reveals itself to be a master anecdote teller; regaling a series of hilariously inappropriate comments and social faux pas. An essential coffee table read" - Readers Digest
