Best Canon books/ comics so far

Voted for "Lords of the Sith". Wish there was a distinction for the novels and comics. I just finished the Sith novel, and I did enjoy continuing Cham's storyline. I also appreciated that Palpatine was hiding his power and that he still maintained his humble political servant mode (at least somewhat, when it suited him)
The comics have been very enjoyable, with "Star Wars" and "Darth Vader" at my top spot. "Kanan" is helping establish his early history, but there's no surprises there yet. "Princess Leia" is all over the place, seemingly rushing to cover a lot of ground in a few short issues.

The novels may not have the larger stakes of the movies (or even previous "Legends" novels) but I think that is by design. One can't keep going to the well of "super weapons and massive galaxy wide battles". As such, they are smaller, character pieces that have mostly been successful.

Can't speak to the Young Adult stories; I have to draw the line somewhere! And I don't plan on reading the "new, personal takes" on the Original Trilogy, unless the reviews are fantastic and they add something new to the saga.

 

Loved Zahn's book from early 90's. Dark Force Rising, "Hair" to the Empire and The Last Command.

 

Fine but I still like this one.
