This week is the launch of a new project for Skyway to Wonderland—one that is a bit daunting. Between now and December 20, look for a new blog post each week featuring a different Star Wars canon novel. That’s right, before Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker comes out at the end of this year, I’m going to be reading through the entire Star Wars canon and I would love for my readers to follow along.
A bit of a caveat, I’m only going to be reading adult and young adult original novels. I hope to add in the junior novels and film novelizations one day, but due to time restraints I’ll be skipping them for now. Edit: Find the updated list here.
These posts will be released on Fridays and will include general information about the book, where it falls in the Star Wars timeline, a synopsis, and a short review. There will be a few spoilers in my reviews so proceed with caution if you haven’t read the book.
I’m so excited to get started on this new project and it will be a fun way to countdown to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker! I can’t believe Episode IX comes out in 7 months!
Below is the list of books I will be reading and the dates the posts are expected to come out. This is my own list and not an official timeline. Many books take place over multiple years and are hard to place exactly so this timeline is an approximate.
Happy following and let me know if you’re going to read along!
