The company's focus would be shifted towards a restructured Star Wars canon based on new material. In April 2014, Lucasfilm rebranded the Expanded Universe material as Star Wars Legends and declared it non-canon to the Star Wars' franchise. In October 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm for $4.06 billion. ![]() This body of work was collectively known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe for decades. ![]() Many derivative Star Wars works have been produced in conjunction with, between, and after the original trilogy of films, and later installments. The series depicts the adventures of various characters "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away".

The same New York house features in all three “books,” and similarly named characters - many Davids, Edwards, and Charles’s with the surname Bingham - provide a multi-generational continuity. “To Paradise” runs to a little more than 700 pages and is set in New York in three different time periods: 1893, 19. Now, Yanagihara, who was raised in Hawaii, has written another Big American Book. When she wrote “A Little Life,” American writer Hanya Yanagihara created an unlikely cultural phenomenon - an 814-page book that became a pop-culture touchstone and on the Booker Prize and National Book Award shortlists, among other awards. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has usually portrayed villainous characters due to his deep and powerful voice.

![]() It is worth reading the introduction, which provides historical context. As far as classics go, this is not the most profound or moving text, but it is strangely fun, and has an immediacy that I would never expect to find in a book written so long ago. Though the book was written in 1002, I found that I could actually relate to it in places, and Shōnagon struck me as a surprisingly modern woman. Whether it was written for an audience is a topic of some debate, and the text seems to contradict itself on this point, but it contains so much personality that Shōnagon would not, I think, have been unhappy to know that her words would carry so far into the future. It also contains several snippets of poetry, short extracts of fiction, and general musings. More than anything, it is a whimsical collection of the author’s observations and interactions as a courtier. ![]() The Pillow Book ( Makura no Sōshi) is not a diary in the traditional sense, as it has no chronological structure. ![]() However, this intimate diary is such a vivid window into the Japanese Heian period (794-1185 AD) that I found myself drawn deep into Sei Shōnagon’s world, never minding what I was doing there.
