-==Criticism==
-Del Rey's standings for ''Star Wars'' in their [[New Jedi Order]]-[[Legacy of the Force]] series have come under harsh criticism of fans of [[Bantam Books]] and the [[Star Wars: Original Trilogy]]. Detractors complain that there is not enough variety to the books, that every series has been a galaxy-level war, and that the series has been too dark.
