swphreak Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Well, here is a good list of Star Wars Comics: http://www.darkhorse.com/products/zones/z_starwars/zp_timeline/index.html And if you pick up an NJO book, it has a book list in it. I suggest reading them all in order, but not everyone wants to buy all the books or read them all. The Thrawn Books are really good, and I think the NJO is awesome.

benTantilles Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 greetings asano... yes, i would highly recommend u indulge yourself in the highly exciting world of the star wars expanded universe.... u'll be blown away by the wealth of material provided by the hundreds of comics, books, games etc. anyway.... i would suggest u start off with the THRAWN TRILOGY (3 books: heir to the empire, dark force rising & last command) by timothy zahn...they're widely regarded as the best-written books in the star wars galaxy and would help bring your interest in the EU to a whole new level. the NJO, like phreak said, is a great series...but honestly, it's a bad idea to start off with coz u'll have no idea what's going on (what?! luke's married? and han's got kids?! and who the hell is the wedge antilles guy?...). u'd be better off reading the other books first... so basically... MUST READS: thrawn trilogy hand of thrawn duology and after that...NJO SHOULD READS: x-wing series (both the comix & the novels...but the novels especially for their storyline) Shadows of the Empire I, Jedi i had some other things i wanted to add...but i've forgotten them now. o yeah, Comix! read the x-wing:rogue squadron series (especially the miniarcs IN THE EMPIRE'S SERVICE, MANDATORY RETIREMENT & THE MAKING OF BARON FEL) the ongoing republic series, the empire series....open seasons is a GREAT series. it features jango fett and the mandalorians, so it's guaranteed that there'll be some hard-core action in it. hope i've been of some help.
