[imperialscum said:]Unless you have some record, you are just making it up.

Are you implying that all of the millions upon millions of Star Wars fans read the books and comics?

Out of every single person I have known in my personal life throughout the years, only one other read the EU stuff, and he no longer does (I cherry picked the comics here and there when DH was publishing them and read a couple of the books when I was in college), and I’ve met a hell of a lot of folks.

Scratch that, my dad used to read the comics I bought.

Also, I have never once seen a Star Wars comic on sale in Japan (not saying they don’t exist). I’ve seen a few books at used book stores, but have never known anybody who has read one.
