Zygomaticus Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 how many starwars books are there and does anyone know where i canget them and r they written by lucas??
Guest Kudar Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 The Original, Star Wars A new hope is by George Lucas, the following ESB and ROTJ are novelisations based on the films, after that there is a multitude of Expanded Universe books, from The Han Solo trilogy, Bounty Hunter Trilogy and more, I think the period covered is about 25 years after the end of ROTJ, a lot of them are in a kind of sequence, by lots of different authors. You should be able to get most at your local book store, or Amazon. I recomment the Bounty Hunter Trilogy or Han Solo books first
Guest Rogue15 Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 u got your name from the bounty hunter trilogy. Right now i'm reading ambush at corellia. it's pretty awesome.
Guest Kudar Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 Originally posted by Rogue15 u got your name from the bounty hunter trilogy. ssssssh I'm sure people think it's my real name
Guest Darth G Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 how many are there?? i can't begin to count... so many different series and so many trilogies... some pple tink that SW has only got maybe 2 or 3 trilogies, but they haven't seen the books yet

Called Galaxy of fear. ive got all 4 parts of that. And ive got one Star Wars manual from 1996. But there are a lot more
Young David Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 Altough I've read the Thrawn Trilogy and the Jedi Acadamy Trilogy in dutch, I've read the rest that I read in english. Star Destroyer sounds a lot cooler than 'Sterren vernietiger'. BTW ... 'Het Doemwapen' is Darksaber in english
darthfergie Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 I wouldn't be able to post all 145+ of my books...but I've read all the ones you posted Wraith 9... BTW, none of the books (besides the original trilogy) are written by Lucas...and there are about 200 maybe more books...
Wraith 8 Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 Thanx YD.... But i try to get the SW books in Dutch. It is easier to read and stay in the story. But dont get me wrong. i can read english but sometimes it is hard to ..... to..... you know.... stay in the story line. Right now im reading wedge gambel. nr. 2 in the x-wing series. after i have read the rest im going to buy the bounty hunter books.
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 I've read alot, all the ones Wratih 9 mentioned and then some. I'm currently in the middle of the Han Solo Trilogy.
Zygomaticus Posted October 24, 2001 Author Posted October 24, 2001 r the books very continuative or is it ok if u read a later part before an earlier one. i ask this question so that id know if its worthit to go for the more interesting books or to go for books in order pls reply
Wraith 8 Posted October 24, 2001 Posted October 24, 2001 Well here in The Netherlands all the Star Wars Novels and Star Wars Specials in Dutch are in a big book. and i hav esome English books that are a lot smaller. one big book is the Courtship of princes leia. And at first i did not get the story. but later when i bought the x-wing series books i finnaly understood. So my books go in this order. Episode 1 (Dutch) Rogue Planet (Dutch) and then the x-wing series untill 7: Truce at Bakura (Dutch) 1. Rogue squadron (English) 2. wedge gamble (English) 3. The Krytos trap (English) 4. The bacta war (English) 5. Wraith Squadron (English) 6. Iron Fist (English) 7. Solo command (English) Courtship of princes Leia (Dutch) Now i think that Isards revenge is next from the X-wing series but not sure. Heir to the Empire (Dutch) Dark Force Rising (Dutch) The last command (Dutch) Jedi Search (English) Dark Apprentice (English) Champions of the force (Dutch) Childeren of the Jedi (Dutch) Darksaber (Dutch) x-wing book 9. star fighters of adumar. (English) The cristal Star (Dutch) Ambush at Corellia (Dutch) Attack at Selonia (Dutch) encounter at Centerpoint (Dutch) Now i must say I did not read them in the right order. BUT you should do it.

Paragon_Leon Posted October 24, 2001 Posted October 24, 2001 I enjoy the NJO series - to a degree. At some point it hardly seems Star Wars anymore to me. Just give me a good book outlining the Galactic Civil War.
