Star Wars: Heir to the Jedi is a Star Wars novel by Kevin Hearne, published in March 2015. Set between the films A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, it features the early adventures of the character Luke Skywalker. Heir to the Jedi was one of the first four novels published in the franchise after Lucasfilm redefined Star Wars continuity in April 2014.
Set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, Heir to the Jedi chronicles the adventures of young Luke Skywalker . The novel is written from the first person perspective of Luke, and is only the second Star Wars novel to attempt this type of narrative voice (the first being Michael A. Stackpole's 1997 Star Wars Legends novel, I, Jedi).
With the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, most of the licensed Star Wars novels and comics produced since the originating 1977 film Star Wars were rebranded as Star Wars Legends and declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014.Heir to the Jedi was subsequently announced as one of the first four canon novels to be released in 2014 and 2015.
