THE FASCINATING HISTORY OF THIS "LOST" STAR WARS EU BOOK: The Heart of the Jedi (a cancelled Expanded Universe book from 1992) was, until recently, being sold at cost in printed form on Amazon independently from Disney/Lucasfilm. It outsold all other Star Wars content on the Amazon's best sellers list. It was recently removed from Amazon, presumably due to claims by Disney, and is out of print. An excerpt from an interesting reddit post on this book: "The Heart of the Jedi (by Kenneth C. Flint) was meant to be the first book in a trilogy taking place immediately after ROTJ and was meant to be released in 1993. By the end of 1992, Flint sent a draft, but his editor at Bantam Spectra went unresponsive for several months. Eventually, Flint contacted an agent who, in turn, contacted Bantam Spectra. He then discovered that the editor had determined The Heart of the Jedi could not be published, arguing that it "no longer [fitted] into the sequence for the new series." Flint was then told that his Spectra editor had supposedly promised another author of the group that her book would be placed in position one instead of The Heart of the Jedi. I would assume that the "her" could be Kathy Tyers of "The Truce at Bakura" which appears to be the only Star Wars female writer from Bantam Spectra between 1991 and 1993. Consequently, The Heart of the Jedi was never published. However, Flint was allowed to keep his ten thousand dollar advance and given the opportunity to write two Star Wars short stories (Doctor Death: The Tale of Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba and Old Friends: Ephant Mon's Tale). According to Flint, those events destroyed both his relationship with Bantam Spectra and his career as a writer. In May 2015, Flint edited his long-lost novel to fit into the existing [Legends] Expanded Universe and allowed its release on Joseph Bongiorno's website, The Star Wars Expanded Universe Timeline."
