Mr.Strike Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 I have never read any of the Star Wars books. I bought one the other day called "The New Jedi Order" Rebel Dream. There are people in this book that I have never heard of. I am almost done reading it and I want to back track and read the others. What are some good ones to pick up? I have read a few threads where people where talking about some books but no titles were ever mentioned. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 The only Star Wars book I've read was the Episode One book. It explained a lot about how the Sith came to be and things I didn't know before then. It was pretty good. I don't plan on reading any of the "un-canon" stuff though, just like playing the games.

Mr.Strike Posted May 4, 2002 Author Share Posted May 4, 2002 So the episode 1 book tells more than just the same story that was in the movie. After I started reading this book I have now I wanted to read more of the expanded universe too see what it was like. I just need some titles to start with.

EDOX Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Ok get any SW books by Timothy Zahn. They are a must read. Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command. He also wrote Spector of the past which is good too. Other than that I have not read too many SW books. I am in the process of catching up though. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micozade Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 i believe its in comic book format and its called dark empire. tis was released early ninties. Because now there is dark empire two . But if you want a really good book to read and i mean a really good book then get the bounty hunter wars by k.w.jeter. its all about Boba fett before and after the sarlaac incident its three books long and superb. the titles are the mandalorian armor . slave ship and hard merchandise.If theres any other books you want to know about ask and ill tell you all .
