Light of the Jedi(115)

Elizabeth Schaefer at Del Rey, for her editorial acumen and some really nice tweets after she finished reading an early draft of the novel. My agent, Seth Fishman, for whom no deal is impossible. Jordan D. White at Marvel Comics, who gave me my very first shot at writing Star Wars and from which all of the rest has come. Shawn DePasquale, my constant early reader. Tommy Stella, my constant assistant.

George Lucas and the many, many brilliant people he worked with to bring Star Wars to life (it takes a galaxy!). None of us would be doing this work without their efforts.

And, of course, my family—Rosemary and Amy, Hannah, Sam and Chris, Jay and Ann, Mary and Jim.

And finally, thank you. I hope you enjoyed the story.

We are all the Republic.
