Lost Stars, a great book about growing up, disillusionment, Death Stars and ships going pew pew.
It should be moviefied, it's got everything you need to match the first Hunger Games movie (the later ones got worse) and beat almost every other YA movie into the ground.
The leads are likeable. There's romance. There's loss. There's Death Stars and Star Destroyers. And while set during a time everybody is familiar with, it shows the other side of the story, it is about people influenced by the bigger than life heroes of the main event.
Why is this not yet a thing?
