The Star Wars Heresies - The Book



See, there really is a book. Think of this as an early bird post for a June 30th release. Surely Star Wars fans should be comfortable with that concept. Having said that, this may be outside a few comfort zones. This is a book that largely rewrites the book on the Wars, particularly the prequels. Should be interesting when the haters get on there and saddle it with a hundred one star reviews simply for existing. But that's why it's delightfully heretical.


And am I the only one disappointed that Amazon only allows for THIRTY pre-orders? What's up with that? This should be a prerequisite for anyone snagging a liberal arts degree.


P.S. McFarland Books are sometimes textbook expensive due to their affiliation with colleges and libraries, but they are high, high quality. And yes, tit will be available as an e-book as well.

  1. Congratulations, Paul, that's fantastic, and I LOVE that you used that painting as the cover!! A definite buy. The seething, sputtering Amazon "reviews" will be like bonus entertainment.

    1. Thank you, kind sir. That was McFarland. And what painting is that based on? I know it has a pronounced medieval/renaissance vibe.

    2. Though the image seems very familiar, I'm not sure it's based on any specific painting--but the artist has done a few Star Wars-related pieces; LP put up a post about it a few months back, but here's the artist's deviantArt page:
