Your Star Wars Reading List

Sounds cool! I never read or listened to it, but I'll check it out! I've never listened to an Audiobook, but this sounds like a great one for me to start with.

Thanks!

 

My current reading list is mostly Legends

-New Jedi Order (I'm on Edge of Victory)
-Dark Nest Trilogy
-Legacy of the Force

As for canon, I'll definitely be reading Allegiance when it comes out. That sounds like the sort of canon book I've been waiting for.

Overall, I think the Legends novels are of a higher quality than the canon novels, at this point. With some exceptions, the canon novels are mostly tie-ins and backstories. It feels a bit corporate to me. The Legends novels, especially New Jedi Order, focus more on story, and are consistently well-written.

Also, despite the avowed mission of making everything tie together, the Canon universe feels way less unified than the Legends universe. In canon, it feels like every novel starts from 0 with new characters, places and concepts. But the Legends novels really all tie together and build off of each other.

 

Amen brother. Books like Galaxy's Edge just don't interest me, and neither does the theme park. I liked the Rogue One prequel book as well as the novelization. I love the Thrawn book (the first one, I didn't care for the second one), and the Obi-Wan Qui Gonna book, but otherwise the nu-cannon" just doesn't do it for me. I think the EU got a lot of shade thrown at it, but those books, in my mind, are better. I love the New Jedi Order, which I'm in the middle of reading as well as many others.

 

My latest recommendation would be: Age of Resistance - General Hux, published on August 28, 2019 by Marvel Comics

A one-shot comic book written by Tom Taylor, and illustrated by Leonard Kirk.

Such a fun read! Thanks for making me read this one, @Boushhdisguise!

 

I'm looking forward to reading the new book coming out on Count Dooku. For the next few months my reading list looks like this:
First, from the Old EU
-Comic Series: Dawn of the Jedi (Dark horse from 2012) which I read last year and really enjoyed so I'm going to reread these.
-Continue the series New Jedi Order (I'm on Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial)
-The Cestus Deception
From the nu-Cannon:
-Dooku: Jedi Lost
-Thrawn: Alliances
-Thrawn: Treason

I really enjoyed Bloodline. I wish it had Luke in it, but otherwise it was really good. Also, if you haven't read Ahsoka or Master and Apprentice you really should.

 

I'm looking forward to these two:

 

I guess I'm such a huge Ahsoka fan I was just loving the fact that there was a book about her. I did think the antagonists left something to be desired.

I'll have to add Queen's Shadow to the list. I really have become a huge fan of the PT films and era. So yeah, I am sure I'll love that book.

 

Ive been reading Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor for the 2nd or 3rd time. Story's still great but near the end i was getting bored and burned out from reading the whole thing.

Now im planning on reading Lost Stars again along with Star Wars Aftermath Trilogy or stick with reading the Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy in hardcover

 

Still reading Gray's Master & Apprentice (80 pages left) and Dawson's Black Spire, I'm a couple of chapters in. I could never finish the Bounty Hunter trilogy. I got the hardcover too, I'm gonna give it another go before watching the Mandalorian.

 

How is Black Spire? Gotta say I had no interest in it when I saw it on amazon. Master & Apprentice, however, I really liked. My only beef with it was the use of the phrase "go to hell" or something like that. I hated it in Empire Strikes Back and I hate it in this book. But otherwise, it is fantastic. I would love to see more on the prophecies

 

I'm just a couple of chapters in, so can't give a good review, but its the same writer who wrote Phasma. In fact it's sort of a continuation of Phasma because 2 character from Pharma are in it. So If you didn't like Pharma you may not Like Black Spire. Here's a short review:

 

There is a really good book called The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell that is pretty good.

 

I've not read Phasma but it is one I've considered. I have heard some good things about it. I might have to add Phasma to the list.

 

Earlier today i just bought the Phasma novel from the Barnes and Noble store and i was wondering about something.

Which is supposed to be read first? Bloodline or the Phasma novel?

 

Good question. I'm not sure which comes first in the timeline tbh. But according to nerdist.com Phasma comes first.

 

I’ve fallen WAY behind in keeping up with reading all the new material. I’ve read the first Aftermath novel, Catalyst, Bloodlines, Cobalt Squadron, and Alphabet Squadron.

Thought I’d check out some of the comics I’ve been neglecting, and then I found it, someone who’s already become one of my favorite characters...

Doctor Aphra!

I love this character so much, she needs her own Disney+ series right now! Triple Zero and Bee Tee are simply outstanding. I highly recommend Doctor Aphra!
