Vector Prime got a lot of publicity when it was published in 1999. IIRC, it was the only EU novel to have a tv spot.

I find it pathetic that the first and only Star Wars novel to receive advertising on television is an entry from one of the worst Star Wars series ever.

 Shadows of the Empire had a commercial.  The Vector prime one was a big deal however because it was the first time Hamill revisited his role since 1983.

Long before the sequel trilogy was a glimmer in the Disney companies eyes.  People pretty much figured he would never do the role again.

He had turned down voicing the character in several Lucasarts games as far as i can remember.

I find it funny Mark Hamill played the Joker for twenty years and now is returning to the Luke Skywalker role he had distanced himself from.
