Talk:Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker

message: The original title of this novel was just Star Wars. This article, therefore, needs to be moved to Star Wars (novel). 23skidoo 01:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As no one commented on way or the other I followed the Be Bold principle and moved it myself. 23skidoo 21:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  My soft cover version is titled "Star Wars: From The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker," published in 1976 and includes the scene montage in the middle of the book. I had originally borrowed it from a library but it was never able to be returned because my younger stepbrothers at the time got their hands on it and destroyed the scene montage, resulting in me losing a couple story pages as well.

thread_title: Article needs to be moved

message: Is the 1995 date correct? I recall seeing a hardcover edition of the first edition from 1976-77, I believe released as a book club issue. 23skidoo 21:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Hardcover publication date

message: I, too, question the hardcover "facts" given.
To my knowledge, the first publication in any form was a PAPERBACK (late November 1976 with the book appearing in stores by early/mid December 1976: In fact, I still have my copy that I purchased mid December) with the first hardbound being done by "The Science Fiction Book Club" (with photos from the movie:  Which I also have in First Edition form) in early 1977. 24.251.240.231 (talk) 00:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Journal of the Whills 

message: The article states that the film was retitled "Episode IV" in response to the then-upcoming prequels. The "Episode IV" was actually added to STAR WARS when it was re-released in anticipation of the 1980 release of EMPIRE.207.221.248.253 (talk) 18:24, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Retitling 

message: I've again removed this content because it is uncited, and the notion that either Rogue One or its spinoff novel are intended to provide "backstory" to this novel is tenuous. The restoring editor should cite a source from e.g. the writer or publisher or Lucas Licensing articulating an intention/mindfulness that the Catalyst Rogue One novel is meant to be "backstory" to the Lucas/Foster novelization of Star Wars. Everything I've seen or read about this upcoming novel is that it is providing backstory to Rogue One, but those releases say nothing about any connection to this text. --EEMIV (talk) 17:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Catalyst and Star Wars: From The Adventures of Luke Skywalker aren't even part of the same universe. Catalyst is part of the Disney Canon, while Star Wars: FTAOLS is pure Legends (regardless of the film it's based on). And that distinction aside, no one has even provided a source. Smells like original research to me. DarkKnight2149 17:59, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, Catalyst is meant to provide the backstory to Rogue One, not FTAOLS. That should be obvious, considering it's literally called Catalyst: A Rogue One Story. DarkKnight2149 18:05, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

text:  The article on the Catalyst backstory stated otherwise, which is why I linked it so people can see directly there, but I don't see it a worthy section to edit war over also given the limited time I have for Wikipedia. Let additional users pool in their knowledge on the subject and it'll be better decided then.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 18:10, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

text:  Another thought that crossed me is that we can put it in the see also section. We can always do that later then.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 18:11, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:   Other Wikipedia articles aren't reliable sources, and frankly Catalyst can't provide any backstory to Adventures of Luke Skywalker because they aren't in the same universe. Regardless, a reliable source is required for a hard claim such as the two novels being connected. DarkKnight2149 18:30, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing Rogue One thingy 

message: "Additionally, the word "rebel" is never capitalized, unlike its appearance when describing the Rebel Alliance in the film's opening crawl." Actually, in the original release of "Star Wars", "rebel" was also not capitalized in the opening crawl, but this was changed in subsequent releases to be capitalized. -- 22:17, 13 May 2019‎ 69.124.116.101

thread_title: Capitalization

message: It has been suggested that we merge the Star Wars novelizations into one article. This would include The Empire Strikes Back (novel), Return of the Jedi (novel), the prequels, and sequels. UpdateNerd (talk) 05:37, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging novelization articles 

message: "This differs both from the script's version of Jabba (which is described as a creature with "eyes on stalks"), and the giant slug creature that finally appeared in Return of the Jedi." - BUT, it does kind of resemble how Jabba was portrayed in the cut scene that was later used to make the re-inserted scene.
