To fill in the blanks between 1983’s “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” and December’s “The Force Awakens,” roughly 20 new “Star Wars” novels will hit shelves this fall, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Released by Disney Worldwide Publishing and Lucasfilm Press, the books — geared toward adults, teens and children — will form a new expanded universe. They’re a collaboration between novelists, editors and screenwriters and filmmakers from the Lucasfilm brain trust.

As the books are still in the final writing and editing stages, plot details are scarce and closely guarded. However, a few authors and titles have been revealed: “Moving Target” by Cecil Castellucci, which centers on Princess Leia; “The Weapon of the Jedi” by Jason Fry about Luke Skywalker; “Lost Stars” by Claudia Gray, author of the “Evernight” fantasy series; and Greg Rucka’s “Smuggler’s Run,” which follows Han Solo.
