   There's a sereis of kids' book called "Adventures in Wild Space" which   
   have nothing to do with the Skywalker Saga, other than briefly having   
   Vader giving orders to the adventure's main baddie. The only other real   
   connection to existing Star Wars characters is in one book where they   
   meet up with baby Ezra Bridgers' parents (Ezra Bridger is from the   
   "Rebels" TV series, although also ridiculously rumoured to be in   
   Episode IX supposedly played by the far too young Matt Smith from   
   Doctor Who).

   As we've discovered with the awful, lazy-ass "Sequel Trilogy" reboot,   
   Disney are the ones who need to be shot out of a cannon!!   :-(
