@Will_ofTheForce Were some of these duplicate copies? It feels way too soon to weed The Living Force
I’m a librarian too and the SW books just show up on my desk sometimes. I got some great kids SW reference books recently
That “pollinator seed mix” might be planting a problem.
A University of Washington study grew out 19 wildflower seed packets and found something wild: Every single packet contained invasive species. Not one or two bad mixes. All 19.
Some had 3 invasive species. Some had 13. Eight contained plants considered noxious weeds in at least one state. A third of the packets didn’t list contents at all. And only 5 accurately listed what was inside.
The most common species? Bachelor’s button. Pretty? Sure. But absolutely harmful. It can spread into native grasslands and crowd out the plants local insects actually evolved to use.
That’s the trap.
People buy “wildflower” mixes because they want to help bees and butterflies. But vague seed packets can introduce aggressive nonnative plants that make the problem worse.
Better move: Buy region-specific native seed mixes. Use local native plant nurseries. Check with your state native plant society. Look for packets that list every species by name.

@legendofhei I just finished reading the novelization of ROTS and laughed when Palpatine is trying to insinuate Obi-Wan is sleeping with a senator and Anakin asks “who is he?” Never even considered it would be a woman
@lightandleia Yes! I would love to read an interview with any THR author. I’m also fascinated by Kang’s Goodreads page being half SW and half “have you heard about this wild historical fact?”
