dose anyone read the star wars novels

[Jake Jace]

I been reading them honestly I like them way better then the movies although I only read 2 of the old republic and 2 of the legacy of force ones

Pick up anything that has "Star Wars" and "Timothy Zahn" on the same cover.

 

[Jake Jace]

I donnt I like the troy Denning ones I'm sure I'd like the Karen Traviss ones I have read a couple of her non star wars books and they where good

 

[Hijinks]

Oh, no, that was just me suggesting a few SW books XD

 

[Jake Jace]

Oh yes I know I think I have read one of his but only thing that bugs me about the star wars novels I find them boring for the first 100 pages or so they get off to really slow starts for me

*waves hand* "These are the books you're looking for."

I don't like reading that much. But I suppose I'll give them a try.

 

[San-Ji-Yan]

I have bought I believe all the books save the E-books they had for like Boba (though the lost tribe they put into a hardcover form so happy) and most are enjoyable. Crucible the final EU book is a great send off and the Thrown books that I believe pretty much started the EU are classics. (yes Splinter of a Minds eye came out during the original trilogy but it was between the movies not post)

 

[Jake Jace]

I only read them like I said cuz they are better then the movies but I'm not a big fan of the movies though

 

[Alleycat]

I've read most if not all the novels post Saga. I actually enjoyed the EU. I also love the RC books and Karen Traviss' Mando'ade. I so wanted to find out what happened to them. We only get a glimpse of what may have happened in the LotF books written by her.

 

[Jake Jace]

I only read four of them sadly but I'll read more luckily the library has some

 

[Alleycat]

I have six book boxes full of SW books. When Borders went out of business here I got a lot of them on closeout!

 

[Jake Jace]

Nice I don't know if I like them enough to buy them maybe if I can get cheap paper back ones

 

[Captain Jordan]

Have read some Star Wars novels. Of note that I'll recommend:

Jedi Apprentice (series)
Young Jedi Knights (series)
Tarkin
Kenobi
Outbound Flight
Rogue Planet
Coruscant Nights (trilogy, skip #1)

My fave's:

The Thrawn Trilogy - made me fall in love with Chiss. Thrawn is golden!
X-wing Series - made me fall in love with flyboys. The Fab Four FTW!
Republic Commando Series - made me fall in love with Mando's and Clones.
Rebel Dawn & Rebel Stand (both NJO books) - made me fall in love with Jaina/Jag/Kyp & can't forget Wedge
Legacy of the Force Series - I held my nose while reading about JINO (Jacen in name only), but liked the continuation of the NJO story and characters. (Dark Nest Trilogy didn't happen in my eyes. )

Oh and I forgot the Darth Bane Series. He's my favorite Sith Lord.

 

[Jake Jace]

I'll keep those in mind

 

[Captain Jordan]

Oh and I forgot the Darth Bane Series. He's my favorite Sith Lord.

D'oh! You reminded me about Darth Plagueis. Awesome novel, Luceno is a terrific writer (also wrote Tarkin on my list above).

I read Darth Bane trilogy. I know the story to the Admiral Thrawn books but never read them. And the only other one I know about but never actually read was "The Dark Saber"

X-wing is seriously the -only- series of Legends worth reading.
