Star Wars books.

Contains spoilers look out for the SPOILER ALERT!


Im wondering how many people here read the EU star wars books and which ones are your favorites.

I have read the han solo trilogy, the young boba fett series, some of the new jedi order, some of the young jedi knight, the killick series, the legacy of the force series, most of the X-Wing series, and many other miscellaneous ones or some i cant remember.

My favorite series so far has been the legacy of the force series because it has all the original characters in their 60s along with boba fett who is in his 70s going on epic dramatic adventures. But

Spoiler:

Im currently reading the book Millennium Falcon and its pretty awesome so far, i cant wait for the next page!! I think ill go read it now.

Lol ok gotcha, Yea i forgot the republic commando series, im going to read imperial commando after millennium falcon then its onto the fate of the jedi series!

I never got into buying Star Wars books, though if they're all awesome/nearly as awesome The Force Unleashed then I might start on the Republic Commando series

The thrawn trilogy was so cool because it introduced a lot of characters and they were some of the first EU books.

@Tyren- The commando trilogy is pretty awesome, it has lots of action but also goes into mandolorians and the characters A LOT. Its written by Karen Travis who has invented the entire Mando'a language and written most of the recent SW books involving mandos like the whole commando trilogy and the Legacy of The Force book Bloodlines. Shes even been helping out people on The Dented Helmet with questions about characters armor and stuff.

I've read everything between the Trawn trilogy to the Children of the Jedi (7-books in total), also Shadows of the Empire which takes place between Episodes 5 and 6, and I've read the force unleashed book (not that great but it is intresting).

As for my favorite it would be the Last command from the Tawn trilogy, followed by Shadows of the Empire (which if you haven't read i would strongly suggest you do).

I remember playing the game shadows of the empire, thats a really cool time period because all the imperials blockading smugglers and stuff.

Never even heard of it but if you say its good ill go look it up and buy it.

OHHH! I know this one, BIG stuff happens in these books, George Lucas him self had his hand in the story and Mark Hamill did a narration for the commercial for this book.

I've read some of the other new jedi order series and found them painfully slow at time but i have the first and last books from that series so maybe ill read them. I pretty much skipped them and went strait to the dark nest series 40 years ABY.

Yea, the beginning of like a 19 book series involving the yuzaan vong.

just about done with Thrawn series so thnx for the tips, might try the legacy series next

Loved them was the first star wars books had really read outside the main storyline, big thanks to who ever recommended them and im hoping the legacy series is a good read as well

Cheers Carlen! That's the one!

Any time Kev.

X-Wing,Thawn, and the Darth Bane series were my favorite. I've read a great number of Star Wars books. Lately, most of the newer books are slow and repedative.

I like Timothy Zahn as an author. He seems able to develop several characters throughout his books and makes you identify with each one. He also has the ability to keep the reader guessing from one page to the next. No small feat with me. I have high standards in my reading just like Kevlar.

I was suprised though with the Darth Bane series. The writers were not bad and I liked more intell on the dark side. Especially "the rule of two". The writers explained why there is only one sith master and apprentice at one time.

X-wing is exciting and fast moving. For those readers who tend to nodd-off now and then.

Kavar.
