Star Wars: Bloodline is a 2016 Star Wars novel by Claudia Gray. Set several years before the events of the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it features Leia Organa as its protagonist.[1][2]
The novel was announced in October 2015 at the New York Comic Con panel for the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens publishing initiative with the title Star Wars: New Republic: Bloodline.

Plot
Now in her late 40s, Senator Leia Organa is frustrated by the stagnation of the New Republic's Galactic Senate, which is troubled by inaction thanks to the rivalry of opposing factions. The Populists, including Leia, desire that individual planets be autonomous, while the Centrists support a centralized galactic government. Hearing allegations that the diminishing influence of the tyrannical Hutts has given rise to a dangerous cartel headed by the Nikto crime lord Rinnrivin Di, Leia races to the planet Bastatha to investigate. To her chagrin, she is accompanied by young Senator Ransolm Casterfo, a priggish Centrist with an idealized view of the fallen Galactic Empire. As expected, Leia is abducted by Rinnrivin for a clandestine meeting, where she learns that many Niktos revere her as the "Huttslayer" for her killing of Jabba the Hutt decades before. During her escape, Leia and Casterfo find common ground, and soon determine that a shadowy greater power is behind Rinnrivin's expansive operation.
Publication
With the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, most of the licensed Star Wars novels and comics produced since the 1983 film Return of the Jedi were declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014.[3][4][5] A new series of novels, aligned with the continuity of the films and the canon TV series The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, began publication in September 2014.[5] Bloodline was announced as Star Wars: New Republic: Bloodline in October 2015 at the New York Comic Con panel for the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens publishing initiative.[6][7]
