Hi,

just wondered if someone would be able to help with suggestions for which SW books to read (novels and comic) and in which order?

cheers

The 'dark times' comics are good as are the 'rebellion' ones.

'Boba fett is dead' is pretty cool.

I personally didnt really like any of the 'legacy' series with the silly vong aliens, i just didnt feel they were very 'star wars'

I'm yet to find a star wars novel i like, i hate stackpoles writing after trying to read his god awful battletech books , i used to have 'tales from the mos eisley cantina', thats ok but suffers from the fact that it tries to give every minor person in there some epic back story. I used to quite like it but then as i got older i found it less interesting and less well written.

thanks for the replies

Bojanglez, that's great thanks

I have read the original three film books and also Splinter of the Mind's Eye , and thought would be good to catch up on a few books, and came across this!

I wouldn't read the old legends stuff. I'd read Tarkin, Dark Disciple, Lords of the Sith, Lost Stars. All canon.

Read the X-wing novels. Seriously; they're good, canon or not.

X-Wing Novels for sure, **** Disney's "non cannon" claim, they didnt make starwars what it is today, so **** them. Wedge Antillies FTW!

I highly recommend the new junior novels. They're fun and easy-to-read. I felt like the characterization in each one was done really well

Weapon of a Jedi (Luke's book; takes place between episodes IV and V)

Smuggler's Run (Han and Chewie's book; takes place between episodes IV and V)

Moving Target (Leia's Book; takes place between episodes V and VI)

Before the Awakening (Finn, Rey, and Poe's book; takes place just before episode VII)
