Bantam Skylark - star wars publisher

Bantam Skylark was a publishing company that was active in the 1980s and 1990s, and was a subsidiary of Bantam Books. They published a variety of books for children and young adults, including several tie-in novels based on the Star Wars franchise.
Bantam Skylark's Star Wars novels were primarily aimed at younger readers, and often featured simplified storylines and characters. Some of their most popular titles included The Glove of Darth Vader, The Lost City of the Jedi, and The Truce at Bakura.
The Glove of Darth Vader followed the adventures of the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 as they searched for the titular glove, which was said to grant its wearer immense power. The Lost City of the Jedi introduced the character of Jedi Prince Ken, who discovered a hidden city of Jedi on the planet Yavin 4. The Truce at Bakura picked up immediately after the events of Return of the Jedi and explored the aftermath of the Rebel Alliance's victory over the Empire.
In addition to the novels, Bantam Skylark also published a series of Star Wars Choose Your Own Adventure-style books, in which readers could choose their own path through a series of interactive storylines.
While Bantam Skylark's Star Wars novels were not as well-known or critically acclaimed as some of the other Star Wars tie-in books, they did provide younger readers with an accessible entry point into the Star Wars universe. The books were often filled with action and adventure, and featured many of the familiar characters from the films.
Bantam Skylark's Star Wars tie-in books were eventually discontinued in the late 1990s, when the franchise's expanded universe was undergoing a major overhaul. However, they remain a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era of Star Wars tie-in literature, and continue to be beloved by many fans who grew up reading them.
