Bradley Davis 1/17/2013 Star Wars: ROTJ The book Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was the novelization of the movie series Star Wars. It was written by James Kahn and offered little difference but a bit more insight. There were more vivid explanations of some of the events and a tiny bit more of character portrayal.
