==Behind the scenes==
When announced, the story was described in some reports as "a sort of 'sequel reboot.' It will be written as if the only canon story is A New Hope (G-Canon), as if none of the sequels or books or any extended universe material ever happened."
The author wrote in his blog that the story "will pretend like its 1977 and no other films were every made or books ever written aside from "A New Hope"."
In an interview, the Dark Horse editor Randy Stradley agreed that it would be as though Episode IV has just come out in theaters and the rest of the trilogy has yet to be made. "There is no vast continuity that a reader needs to know beyond the events in A New Hope," implying that this story should be more accessible to fans that might be scared to jump in to The Expanded Universe.
