A book set in the Star Wars universe



I've read a few.

Tarkin
A New Dawn
Aftermath
Novelizations of the prequels
Some Legends story of Obi-wans time on Tatooine

I own a lot more but I never opt to read books so

Yeah, I read a load of EU books as a kid in the 90s. Most of them were trash.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

That's pretty good, but the trilogy by A.C. Crispin is my favorite.

I used to read a shitload of these books, but nothing since the NJO ended.

Some EU books and comics back when I was a kid. Some canon books and comics as an adult.

He's one of my favorite authors, but I wish Star Wars fans would read his original works so that he doesn't have to write licensed material to make money. The Acts of Caine series is awesome.

Yeah, but it wasn't very good.

Also it was in the 6th grade, and the other kids laughed at me for reading a Star Wars book so I didn't bother reading any more.

Honestly, I think they were the first books to be published in the Star Wars universe.

I, Jedi
Most of the Young Jedi Knight books

Still need to read the Thrawn Trilogy and Shadows of the Empire (odd that I haven't yet, since I loved the game)

My mom has pretty much every Star Wars book ever written...

Many years ago power went out for like a week, and I was so bored I read some Star Wars novels I found in my brothers room.

Some of them but I was a kid and wasnt very organized about it so I was always having to figure out where in the timeline I was at when I started a new one just through context (no internet access at that age)

I don't remember reading any other than Shatterpoint. But I did own a couple others. I mostly just read Wookieepedia back in the day instead of actually reading the novels.

The New Jedi Order series really went off the rails, to be sure

Yeah, just started. Read Rebel Rising last week, I'm about halfway through Outbound Flight, then I got Lost Stars. I made a rec topic a few weeks ago and got a solid list.
