A large portion of Expanded Universe material can be found in novels. There are currently over 100 different novels in the Expanded Universe library. The Fate of the Jedi series is currently ongoing, continuing the adventures of Luke Skywalker and his friends more than 40 years after A New Hope. Several novels have also been released under The Old Republic banner, as fans eagerly await the next big Star Wars video game. Del Rey’s current publishing contract expires in 2013.
