SW books

[Bastila]

I was in a book shop yesterday looking at SW books and wanted to know which SW books are good to read and if there is an order to read them in i've heard of the NJO, but i don't know which one to read.

 

Any recommdations would be good.

I have been reading the han solo trilorgy recently, and i think they are quite good but i haven't got any other star wars books so i can't make any comparrisons

[Prime]

The Thrawn trilogy is a good start, since it takes place a few years after ROTJ. What I would suggest is heading over to theforce.net and looking at the book timeline. This gives you the order of the books in terms of when the events happened. Also, it shows the books from different eras. What era are you interested in?

Here's a link to the Ultimate Timeline at TF.Net:

Look to the left hand side and you will find the timeline.

 

As for the reading suggestions;

 

Start off with the Thrawn Trilogy and the Truce At Bakura.

 

After that, make your way over to the NJO series by reading Vector Prime.

[Bastila]

Not after ROTJ, maybe a bit longer, i wouldnt mind reading about han solos kids as i've heard about them.

What era are you interested in?

 

learning more about the starwars universe

[Bastila]

learning more about the starwars universe

 

 

I should have put that as well, also is there any books on about before the OT clone wars or old republic?

I recently satrted reading Vector prime and i'm enthrall i have to say. I'm almost finished reading the book now i've got to get the nxt ones

Cloak of Deception is about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan before TPM and discusses why the Trade Federation was allowed to have a droid army. More of a political thriller, but I enjoyed it. There are several other books from the pre-TPM timeframe. There are no KOTOR era novels.

I believe that's Vector Prime

 

 

@Bastila:

 

One of my favourite starwars books is "I, Jedi". You may find it worth a read. Also try and pick up one of the many "Tales from. . ." which is a collection of a bunch of short stories set in the SW universe. It's a good place to start due to the fact that they are short stories, which means that you aren't commited to a whole book.

yay, an EU related question

 

I will be starting the first of the post NJO novels in a couple of weeks Quite looking forward to it. If you have read it, no Untagged spoliers please > looks at Prime

 

But in the aftermath of ROTS, EU is set to get rollin again, with the post NJO series : The Dark Nest Trilogy.

 

One of the books Im most anticipating, is the book set immediately after ROTS, called "Dark Lord". It'll be mostly about how Vader discovers that wearing pantyhose and coating himself with vaseline will minimise chaffing in his new suit

actually the book set immediately after rots is the truce at bakura.

if you want a good read, then get outbound flight when it comes out. it shows the idiocy of Mitth'raw'nuruodo(thrawn) in attacking a jedi commandeered vessel(which got blown up by the way, but some survived.)

[montnoir]

actually the book set immediately after rots is the truce at bakura.

You misread the last letter of rots - meaning he refers to "revenge of the sith"

the truce at bakura and the one you are referring to is set immediately after rotj - which is return of the jedi.

 

so the "dark lord" novel is set immediately after revenge of the sith.

 

just clearing that up.
