The Star Wars universe expands into new territory with the recent announcement of the reprinting of The Shadow War Chronicles by George Lucas and Chris Claremont under the Star Wars banner. The omnibus edition of the trilogy is now revealed to take place on the Force-imbued world of Andowyne, a planet deep in the Kathol Rift and possible home planet of the midi-chlorian life form.
