May 4th Legends Deals
Happy May 4th Legends fans! Here are some discounts on Legends merch I've found around the Internet. I'm sure this list isn't exhaustive, so please add on anything I may have missed!
Books & Comics Merch
Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor book cover shirt - available in Boys (S-XL) at Target for $18.99 and Mens (S-3XL) Target $22.99 (through May 4th) or BoxLunch $21.67 (25% off May 4th & 5th)
BoxLunch also has the cover of Dark Horse Comics' 2013 run of Star Wars available as a shirt in Unisex sizing (S-2XL) for $21.67 (25% off May 4th & 5th)
In odd but cool pieces, we have a shirt from BoxLunch (25% off May 4th & 5th) that features the Hungarian cover art for the novel Han Solo and the Lost Legacy by Brian Daley. The shirt comes in Unisex M-XL, for $21.67,
and a Jaxxon statue for $170 at Gentle Giant (regular $200) discounted May 4th - 8th
TeeTurtle has a shirt on final clearance for $10 that shows Kit Fisto and "a padawan." Logically I know this is probably supposed to be his padawan from TCW, but at least to me it reads more as Bant Eerin, his padawan in the Jedi Apprentice chapter books. The shirt is available in Women's XS-3XL and Men's S-3XL.
Rock Love has their entire Star Wars stock 20% off May 3rd-6th, including this Rancor Tooth necklace for $56 (regular $75) that is arguably Tenel Ka vibes.
Chronicle Books has 20% off all Star Wars books and novelty products from May 4 - 20. This includes:
Star Wars: 100 Collectible Comic Book Cover Postcards ($19.96) which covers covers from the 70s to 2023, so it is mixed canon. The description promises Mara Jade, and some of the covers shown are Legends. Common sense (hopefully) dictates that the majority of cards will be from the Legends era since that is ~35 years of publication vs. ~11 years.
They also publish the in-universe guidebooks The Jedi Path ($17.56), Book of the Sith ($17.56), Bounty Hunter's Code ($17.56), and the Imperial Handbook ($17.56). There is also a $64 box set of the four books. These books also straddle Legends and current canon as they were published in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively.
More items in the category of "we slapped a comic cover on this" that are 25% off May 4th & 5th at BoxLunch include:
The 1998 manga edition of ANH as a unisex sweatshirt (S-2XL) for $33.67,
Issue #7 of Marvel's 1997 run of Star Wars comics that is available in a variety of shirt styles,
and the Infinities ANH #1 cover as "framed wood wall art," whatever that means, for $18.67.
There are some Thrawn items that are stylistic enough there isn't a hard line in the differences between his Legends and current canon looks.
Funko is Buy 2 Get 1 Free through the 5th and they have Thrawn as a mini keychain ($5) and regular Pop ($12).
BoxLunch also has the regular size Thrawn Pop for $7.74 (40% off with code BLGIFTS). It will be 25% off ($9.67) May 4th-5th, and I don't know if that discount stacks, or if the 40% off will go away.
BoxLunch also has several Thrawn shirt designs that will be 25% off May 4th-5th.
The Triptych Grand Admiral Thrawn design comes in Unisex T-shirt (S, L-2XL) for $21.67, Women's T-shirt (S-2XL) for $21.67, long sleeve T-shirt unisex (S-2XL) for $24.67, unisex sweatshirt (S-2XL) for $33.67, and a Youth Hoodie (S-XL) for $33.67

Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week - Favorite Fake Holofilm Titles
In the Legends novel Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, we learn that after the Battle of Endor, filmmakers have made a number of questionable holofilms proporting to highlight our heroes’ exploits. Additionally, the villain of the novel, Lord Shadowspawn, is continually envisioning new holofilm titles as he unfolds his plans. Of these in-universe holofilms (or prospective holofilms), which title is your favorite?
Thank you to everyone who has signed up to write for From a Legends Point of View 2024! Stay tuned to @from-a-legends-pov for occasional Legends content as well as key updates as our writers get to work on developing their stories.

Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2023
Hosted by @hanleiacelebration
Day 4 - Favorite Scene / Quote
Leia stirred, and her eyelids fluttered. “Han…?”
“I’m here, Leia.” He felt like his heart would burst. “I’m right here.”
Her hand sought his. “So dark….”
“Yeah,” Han said. “But the sun’s coming up.”
“No…not here. Where I was.” She drew in a deep breath and released it in a long, slow sigh. “It was so dark, Han. It was so dark for so long I couldn't even remember who I was. I couldn’t remember anything.”
Her eyes opened and found his face. “Except for you.”
Han swallowed and squeezed her hand. He didn’t trust his voice.
“It was like…like you were with me,” she murmured. “You were all I had left—and I didn’t need anything else.”
“I’m with you now,” he said, his voice hoarse, unsteady. “We’re together. And we always will be.”
— Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, Matthew Stover

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor (Matt Stover)
"The villain, Lord Shadowspawn, is a Force-user who has a different view of the Force than that of Jedi or Sith; he believes that the Force is the Dark, which is basically destruction and entropy; he induces visions of the Dark — of being alive in the eons after all the stars burn out — to cause despair that he can then use. On a metaphorical mind-battly level, his ultimate technique is to become a black hole, which makes sense in story."
Dead Silence (S.A. Barnes)
"A GHOST SHIP.
A SALVAGE CREW.
UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS.
Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed—made obsolete—when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.
What they find at the other end of the signal is a shock: the Aurora, a famous luxury space-liner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn’t right.
Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Words scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold onto her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora, before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate."

I’m really enjoying Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor! From the title to the plot, there’s a really fun sense of adventure—it’s a little cheesy, and that’s completely intentional and self-aware, and kind of relevant to the plot as well. The relationship between Luke, Han, and Leia is perfectly realized, the science isn’t completely overwhelming, and it’s just…really fun.

Casa tomada (House taken over) (Julio Cortázar)
"It tells the story of a brother and sister living together in their ancestral home which is being "taken over" by unknown entities. The mystery that revolves around what those entities are is largely left up to interpretation, allowing the genre of the story to vary from fantasy to psychological fiction to magic realism to political fiction, among others."
