"This is the start of the Fate of the Jedi series. We are making available a downloadable PDF guide that serves as an introduction to this bold new era of Star Wars storytelling for those who have never read a Star Wars novel before or just need a refresher on the current standing of the characters and worlds of the galaxy far, far away. This guide also includes an excerpt from Outcast."
Pretty much a marketing ploy.
