It is a time of darkness. With the end of the Clone Wars, and the destruction of the Jedi Order, the evil Emperor Palpatine rules the galaxy unopposed.Far away, in the unknown regions of Wild Space beyond Imperial borders, MILO and LINA GRAF accompany their explorer parents on their expeditions.As the Grafs scout a remote and unmapped swamp-world, the shadow of the Empire draws ever nearer...Adventures In Wild Space is a series of Star Wars Expanded Universe children's novels by Cavan Scott and Tom Huddleston, focusing on the journey of two children, Milo and Lina Graf, through Wild Space, on the search for their parents, who have been taken captive by the recently established Galactic Empire to exploit their exploration and mapping skills.The series is aimed towards younger kids, containing the typical galactic criminal scum such as bounty hunters and crime syndicates that the Graf siblings run into, as well as a few recanonizations of throwaway planets and terms previously used in Legends. The books are mostly isolated from other works in the Expanded Universe, leaving the date of occurrence for the events unknown, up until The Steal, which ties into the series by having the Graf siblings land on Lothal to meet the Bridgers.The series received a distant sequel, the Tales from Wild Space short stories, in the Adventures comic series.

As anyone who has watched Rebels can tell you, it won't go over well. The fates of the Grafs are later addressed in Adventures, however.

Ambiguous Time Period
 Adventures in Wild Space / int_7eb2bc15
comment
Ambiguous Time Period: In "The Steal", we meet the Bridgers. Ezra is only a baby, but according to All There in the Manual, he should be at least five (so he should've shown up as a small child instead) as the Bridgers don't begin their broadcasts until fourteen years before the Battle of Yavin, unless this piece of information from All There in the Manual has been Retconed. Then Vizago says that Governor Azadi only has a month until the Empire steps in to deal with the broadcasts, which makes this even more confusing unless Azadi's deadline was moved. "The Rescue" reveals that the events of Tarkin have already happened — the same year the Bridger transmissions began according to All There in the Manual, meaning Ezra should be in the five to seven-year old range.

Free-Range Children: Well, it's not their fault, but their caretaker, CR-8R, is mostly helpless, not helped that as an amalgamation of several different droid parts, he can't exactly move around or be a swift as the kids, further worsened when he's reduced to a talking head by the time they get to Lothal.

Big Bad: Imperial Captain Korda was sent to take the Graf couple into custody, but now he has to go after Lina and Milo as well. He still has to juggle around cataloging worlds in Wild Space (which he finds boring, pointless, and uneventful), so in The Steal, he hires bounty hunter the Shade to go after the kids. And then it turns out that he's only Disc-One Final Boss.

Continuity Nod
 Adventures in Wild Space / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: A couple of sentient species are borrowed from The Force Awakens, like Dowutins and Onodones. CR-8R is an architect droid (or at least his head is), the same model Professor Huyang was. Governor Azadi is mentioned in "The Call", being an ally of the Bridgers and getting in deep trouble with the Empire if he can't find whoever is behind the rebel transmissions soon. Doctor Cylo-V is mentioned in The Dark. Thunian wart-hornets are mentioned as having similar multicolored wings like Gorsian dragonflies, which are native to Gorse. When CR-8R analyzes Nazgorigan, he reveals that the Jablogian homeworld is Nar Kanji; the same world where Kanjiklub arose from. The rebel transmission in The Nest brings up an example of the Empire's tyranny by using another transmission from Dinwa Prime. About a year and a half after the Battle of Yavin, the world is among the listed by Thane as examples of the Empire's war crimes when he first chats with Wedge. Brentaal IV is mentioned in The Dark. Pirate queen Q'anah hailed from this planet before being killed in Tarkin about 30 years before the story of the Grafs. Krennic is mentioned in "The Rescue", as the series takes place between the scenes of Catalyst.

Call-Forward: Several to Rebels in The Steal, by virtue of being on Lothal. The kids end up getting tied up in criminal business, and among the scum is Vizago, who has mentioned that he hates kids back in "Brothers of the Broken Horn". But it turns out that earlier on, he used to work under a Mon Cala crime boss named Rask Odai. We get to see how the Broken Horn Syndicate came to be; it used to be a Lothal storage company called the Twin Horns Storage, which was actually a front for Odai's criminal ops. Vizago had two perfectly fine horns... until the bounty hunter, the Shade, who was sent to apprehend the kids, got in a fight with him and broke his left horn. So now we know. We end up meeting the Bridgers, who apparently have been doing transmissions not too long after the rise of the Empire, having been at it at least six months into it. A KX-series security droid appears in "The Rescue", and unfortunately, K-4D8 is still programmed to be an Imperial.

Expy: CR-8R is one of C3-PO, though not as whiny. Nazgorigan is one of Azmorigan, up to both being a Jablogian and greedy criminal scum. Apparently, Jablogians are Too Important to Walk and are often overweight, according to a description of him. The difference between him and Azmorigan is that Nazgorigan is a lone trader and Con Man, and isn't much trouble for the protagonists besides conning them into wasting a couple of credits on his supposed insect repellent (it was actually just canal water from Thune's ports).

 Adventures in Wild Space / int_fc7c4f92
comment
Canon Immigrant: While the book series is for elementary school readers and not quite for older readers, it still takes advantage of being a Star Wars Expanded Universe by recanonizing throwaway ideas from Legends. 'Monster droid' is used to describe CR-8R, who is a droid built up of other droid model parts. It was first mentioned in Absolutely Everything You Need to Know as what Jawas are known for creating, but CR-8R is our first canon confirmation that he is a monster droid. Rikknits are mentioned as their eggs having the stench of filthy swamp water when rotten. In Legends, these eggs were a delicacy and the source of its homeworld New Plympto's economic wealth up until Chancellor Valorum declared the species as protected, due to decrease in Rikknit population. Abandoned by commercial interests, New Plympto joined the Separatists with the promise of reviving its market and economy. The siblings run into some creepervines while on Graf-World, previously used in Scholastic's Episode 1 Adventures. Although this is more under Broad Strokes as Graf-world Creepervines are far more carnivorous and look part reptile. Clip beetles are edible by certain species like the Sullustans and Kowakian Lizard-Monkeys. Not only are they nutritious, but in Legends, a number of them could be used to close wounds with their strong mandibles, believing it to be food. They were genetically created by the Yuuzhan Vong, who would have appeared in an episode of The Clone Wars had it not been canceled. The origin of the clip beetles in new canon is ambiguous, making this a case of Schrödinger's Canon. Captain Korda threatens to send Dil Pexton to an Imperial prison camp on Kalaan if he doesn't betray Lina. Kalaan is from the Legends computer game, Force Commander, where after the Battle of Yavin, the Empire completely decimates the Rebel base there and the entire planet into a desert, with the survivors attempting to continue the resistance. There actually is a prison there, which Luke broke out of with help from the original characters. Shalla gives Lina berbersian crab salad to eat. In Death Star, it's an Imperial mess hall dish, albeit just the crab and not as a salad. Vizago's blaster is called Vilmarh's Revenge. Vilmarh was a notorious Devaronian scoundrel in Legends, featured most prominently in Republic.
