So I know there's a few older EU fans here, such as Winter, and Charles Phipps, and the like, and I figured this would be something I'd bring here to post to gauge how interested some of the other users are.
For those not in the know, HOTJ, or Heart of the Jedi, was an EU novel that was to be released in the early '90s, making it part of the Legends continuity, and it never came to materialize. Chronologically, it is set after Truce at Bakura and Marvel #107, and was considered just another Lostworlds story, until it was unearthed a few years back and put up on Starwarstimeline.net, even available in hardcover copy for a while before Disney shut it down.
Well, since March 4th, apparently, a new paperback version of HOTJ has been in sale on Amazon, and ATM, it is selling higher than most other DSWC and older SWL reprinted novels, which is impressive. #16 was the highest trending spot it hit, and 400 copies have been sold since Friday, from the numbers given from the EU.com site. What I hope is that it inches closer to below the #10 spot. It would make a thesis statement to EU fans in the Give Us Legends movement trying to get a continuation of the original C-Canon Storyline in novel-and-comic format, and possibly help bring that closer to being a reality.
If you'd like to get yours for real cheap ($10 USD), the chance is now, because I have no doubts Disney is eventually going to shut this down. I already have four copies coming, with plans to buy more depending on how long this goes on. Here's the link.

Anyway, that's it. Peace! Smash out a reply below, and I'll talk to y'all later.

FYI, for those like me who kept waiting for an explanation which never came, HOTJ stands for "The Heart of the Jedi".

Thank you very much. I was just about write something in regards about this abbreviation nonsense. At least have the decency to spell out the words once...

I swear, I was going to add the name proper, I just forgot to do that. My apologies.
Edit: I fixed that. Again, my apologies.

I honestly thought this was a spam post...
I got nothing to say here.

No, it's a real thing. I got several copies coming. It was an unreleased novel from around 1993, and lines up to the continuity. It was #2 trending on Amazon for a while.

Sure! And this isn't fanfiction, it's a real, official novel that was set to be part of the old continuity before the licensing rights fell through, republished as a paperback today, for only $10 USD. Anyone who wishes to procure one should do so now. House of Mouse won't stand for this forever.
