A few years ago I got into reading Star Trek lit, something I previously shrugged off, but I picked up one of the books almost by accident and found myself enjoying it immensely and more followed. Some of the books expand the Trek Universe, while others are simply content to be supplemental sc-fi space adventures. I kind of like the idea of new Star Wars films being ephemeral sci-fi spectacles, not integral chapters in a multi-series narrative. Films that can be enjoyed without having seen the previous entries and so on. I can't push the Star Trek lit analogy too far, the problem with Star Wars is that it takes a year or so for the next picture to arrive !
