Currently on chapter 36. So far the additional editing is very seamless. I have some notes on what I feel can be approved on.

  • I’ve noticed that Maul is still considered to be dead. Unsure if this was intentional or forgotten to be changed in the edit.

  • I think it would be helpful to have a chapter heading between the chapters before and after the events of the ‘Battle of Nelvaan’ for the reader to know when to stop and continue.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought I’d removed the Maul references, but evidently not. The Nelvaan thing is good feedback. There is also a formatting error in the last chapter or so that I just caught.

Creating fan edits of novels seems like a really good idea to me! This way, we can not only create Canon versions of the Legends books, but also Legends versions of the Canon books. Also, we can take the Legends books that have TCW references in them and remove these references, so that these books can fit with the pre-Filoni and pre-TCW lore. For example, we can take the Darth Plagueis novel and modify it, eliminating all references to the TCW lore (Darth Maul born on Dathomir, etc).

Agreed. I already see a few folks taking a stab at the TROS novelization. A Darth Plagueis canon edit would be very cool too, as there are only a few contradictions (Dooku leaving the order and Maul’s mother).

To everyone else, the purpose of this novel edit was to bring Labyrinth of Evil into canon continuity. However, it seems that it will be retconned by the upcoming novel “Brotherhood,” which will feature its own version of the Cato Nemodia incident. This novel edit will now be better for those that keep Siege of Mandalore in their Legends timeline and want it to coexist with Labyrinth. That was actually the initial intent and is also why references to the Republic comics and other Legends content is kept in the edit.

Version 1.5 has been finished. Additional lines have been rewritten and adjusted to flow more cleanly. Formatting errors in the last chapter have also been fixed. Paja’s feedback about the Nelvaan chapter needing a heading has been taken into account. Now there is a “AFTER THE BATTLE OF NELVAAN” chapter heading. You can stop reading and download NumeralJoker’s edit of the Battle of Nelvaan. Separate edits of the Battle of Nelvaan can also be found in Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6wTXHBsK4Y).

Restating that the upcoming novel “Brotherhood” will present a canon version of the Cato Nemodia incident. However, since Labyrinth of Evil has now been edited to fit into canon, you can choose which Cato Nemodia incident Obi Wan is referring to in ROTS. There is no reason why Obi Wan and Anakin can’t visit Cato Nemodia twice during the Clone Wars. Depending on how much that novel conflicts with Labyrinth and if they can even coexist, I may make another update of LOE to reconcile the two.

Sounds like this won’t be too much of a concern. Here’s what the author of Brotherhood had to say on the subject:

I did read Labyrinth of Evil a long time ago (I believe before ROTS released), but not recently so the details are fuzzy. As that book takes place right before ROTS and mine is right after AOTC, they can happily coexist until someone deems otherwise.

I never thought about mentioning my novel-edits here but I’ve made expanded editions of Darth Plagueis and Shadows Of The Empire, combining all other books, comics, short stories of those eras into one super doc.

Episode III The Video Game - The Movie
24: The Missing Day
Star Wars - The Interactive Board Game DVD
Battlefront - Journal of the 501st

It’s been a few months, and I’m still not sure how to read this thing on my laptop.

I get a window that says:

“Windows can’t open this file.”

What program am I supposed to use to open it?

EDIT:

Excuse me, never mind. I was able to open it using a thing called Cloud ePub Reader with Drive.

Can you send the Edit to me? Please
