Our friend Zee Zee sent us a this about SW Book’s latest editorial for the EUC readers:

“The article is titled “Always in motion is the future” and can be found here
http://www.swbooks.co.uk/articles/editorials/always-in-motion-is-the-future.htm.
Using Mike’s data, I argue that Star Wars book fans need Luke, Leia and Han to get
involved in big galactic wars as they are less likely to be interested in stories
where “the Big Three” are not featured and more inclined not to be conversant with
the key plot points of these books.” And it concludes that: “As Star Wars book fans
we relish stories that feature our three heroes, not only do more of us read the
books but we are substantially more aware of their plot points. So what does this
mean for the future for Luke, Leia and Han? Unfortunately, it means that even after
seventeen years of continuous storytelling, we are still not sick of them and they
will have to continue getting involved in big galactic wars for a while longer
because if they are not a part of the story, then we are less likely to be
interested in the story and, which is worse still, we will be not be as fully
conversant with the key plot points!”

Before posting this article I contacted Mike for permission to use the survey data
in this way and to ask for his advice, opinions and suggestions on my argument. I am
grateful to Mike for the time he gave in answering my questions and for his comments
(some of which have been included in the article).”

So, go ahead and check the very interesting article on SW Book.co.uk.
