Roll20 Starfinder: Dead Suns Module?

I'm a n00b to Roll20 and wanted to learn it and then run the Dead Suns adventure path for Starfinder.  I see a lot of people have done so, but even though another Starfinder adventure path (Against the Aeon Throne) is in the marketplace and optimized for Roll20, Dead Suns is not.  Is there a reason I'm missing?  I'd prefer to run Dead Suns (familiar with the material from having listened to the Androids and Aliens podcast) but my first time out I'd rather than have to build from scratch.
I was in the same boat here. My group moved to Roll20 this month, I really wanted to run Dead Suns but I don't know Roll20 well enough to build it on my own and its not available as a pack purchase, so I decided to pull the trigger on Aeon Throne and run that instead.  So far its working well and Aeon Throne is not a bad AP, I just would have preferred to run Dead Suns myself. I cannot say I know why Roll20 decided to produce Aeon Throne over Dead Suns, maybe because it's shorter? I really, really hope they plan to make Signal of Screams next, which is the natural follow up to Aeon Throne and probably one of the coolest AP's imho, otherwise my group will have nothing to run once we complete Aeon Throne. In fact, I made a post about that here but got zero replies to it, lol, so I have no idea what the plan is. If they don't produce something before were done with Aeon Throne I either have to build something myself, or move to something like Fantasy Battlegrounds, which has everything for Starfinder. I know there are several groups that have run Dead Suns on Roll20, and I did some searching for anything I could import to make it easier to build, but all I found was a tutorial on lining up the maps. I am shocked someone hasn't put something together for it in Roll20.
Many Free and paid users import images and text from the PDF's or make their own maps. Even some will use free images from web sources. The process is not hard but can be time consuming. It all depends on your approach on how you wish to use Roll20. I have been in several game where A gm uses it nothing more than a few handouts and maps and runs the entire session from pdf or notes, etc. The main thing is to have your artwork available for easy up load or already loaded and decent understanding of how the character sheet works. As for other user making it available for anyone to use, to my knowledge they can't as that violate both the TOS of Roll20 and the OGL.  Purchaseable content is created by Roll20 for use on Roll20 in agreement with Paizo.
