Absolutely must read Trevor Davey's new Legends Timeline book. Been pouring over it for a few days now. 😊

Excellent picks! I still haven't finished Shatterpoint, but Matt Stove has proven himself as one of the best Star Wars authors with the ROTS novel and TNJO: Traitor. As for Darth Plagueis, I actually think it's okay to read as a beginner (as long as you've seen the prequels). I read it before doing a deep dive into the EU and loved it, then I read it years later as a Legends expert and appreciated it even more. Being familiar with the other books and comics certainly enhances the experience, but it's a credit to James Luceno that he wrote a compelling story on its own merits. Some other great Legends books and comics: 1) Dawn of the Jedi (comic series) and Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void (novel) 2) Infinities (comics) - this was never canon, but it's a really cool "what if...?" for every film in the original trilogy. 3) Dark Empire, Dark Empire II, and Empire's End (comics) 4) Legacy, Legacy - War, and Legacy Volume 2 (comics) - this builds off all the previous books and comics but is still great.

Thank you! I agree that you can read Darth Plagueis as a beginner and enjoy it for the Palpatine/Plagueis story because that story doesn’t need any extra material on its surface. But so much of what Luceno does with the story attempts to treat Palpatine’s rise to power as the culmination of millennia of Sith, that I had to mention that it’s not best as a beginner story. I’m also planning on doing one of these videos for comics

I really liked this. I'm new to the deep deep lore of Star wars and this helped big time and I'm definitely going to read them. Thanks a bunch

Great list. One thing to note about the Jedi Academy Trilogy is that it was also the first time the novels were connected to the comics in any way as Kevin J. Anderson's Tales of the Jedi comic book series was coming out at the same time, so Anderson brought in a character from those comics into the novels. I absolutely agree with you about the Revenge of the Sith novelization, the X-Wing series, the Han Solo Trilogy, Darth Plagueis and Kenobi though. And, while it is outdated due to when it was published, the Thrawn Trilogy is a solid choice as well. Shatterpoint is one I'm mixed on because I've only read it one time, way back in like 2004 or 2005, when I was still in high school, and I didn't care for it, even though it was well written, just because I'm not as much of a fan of movies like Apocalypse Now, so that kind of story doesn't really do it for me. At the same time though I have only read it the one time, 19 or 20 years ago, so maybe I'd like it better if I were to read it now, as an adult.

@swlegendslore 4 месяца назад

Thanks! You should definitely check out Shatterpoint again. They did a great new unabridged audiobook for it as well for the Essential Legends Collection if you want to try it from a slightly different angle. I certainly love the book

@tgif1345 4 месяца назад

@@swlegendslore Maybe. It's just one of those books that I've never gone back to since I've never owned it as I borrowed it from my local library at the time. I do love that they're doing unabridged audiobooks for the books they're putting out in the Essential Legends Collection. I'm not a big audiobook listener, but, the abridged versions that we used to get on audiocassette and CD felt like they were missing things.

Personally did not love Jedi academy series either lol

@fehner27 4 месяца назад

What is everyone's opinion on the Death Star novel? I was thinking that one after the Han Solo trilogy

@swlegendslore 4 месяца назад

It’s a solid book. Not one of the best of Legends, but one of the few anthologies out there in the continuity

Mostly like the choices. I don't think Kenobi needs to be there except to tell everyone the show doesn't exist. Tarkin would be better tbh.

@swlegendslore 2 месяца назад

Tarkin is a Canon book, but I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching

@MattStormage Месяц назад

Is the story similar as the series or completely different? I didn't watch either way, but still.

@swlegendslore Месяц назад

@@MattStormage No, it's complete different from the series. The book takes place months after Revenge of the Sith and is more of a personal journey for Obi-Wan as he moves away from his life as a Jedi. The series takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith and is more about Obi-Wan coming to grips with his failure letting Anakin fall to the Dark Side.
