First of My Name Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 The worst SW novel I ever read was definitely Jedi Trial. I started reading it twice and both times I was unable to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dokratrO Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 What about best books? It's probably Edge of Victory I: Conquest for me- although that might be influenced by having just re-read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 My best SW books are the Thrawn trilogy, Revenge of the Sith, Traitor, Deceived, some Legacy of the Force books, I, Jedi and the Republic Commando series. I read Conquest as well, and I found it very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End of Disc One Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 What about best books? It's probably Edge of Victory I: Conquest for me- although that might be influenced by having just re-read it.I love that one. Everyone says Traitor is the best NJO book, but this one sure gives it a run IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think that it belongs here. Anyone has read any star wars book and/or comics? edit: I don't have a particular question. Just asking if anyone has read anything so we can discuss about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yes I have :D What are your favorites? Mine are the Stover books (especially Revenge of the Sith) and Republic Commando books. I love a lot of others but these rank among the best.

Jon's Queen Consort Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I loved them all but my fav are: Fate of the Jedi series, Legacy comics and Kights of old republic. You may imagine from my title and status that I also liked the Courtship of Princess Leia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 FotJ, huh? You don't hear that much. When looking at reviews and stuff, I think the Legacy era books get too much hate. I like Courtship, but I think it's a bit improbable at some points. I've read the first three books of Legacy, and I liked those a lot, it's brilliantly imagined. I haven't read KOTOR. What would you consider the weakest books? I'd say the Hambly books and the Crystal Star, but most of all that hideous Jedi Trial. It and Planet of Twilight were the only books that I never finished.

Jon's Queen Consort Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 What is not to like about Legacy era? Cool Skywalkers? Check (Ben, Kol, Bantha and my personal fav Cade)Cool non Forse sensitive humans? Check (Fel family FotJ, Nyna, Droo)Badass head of state? Check (Hi Jag dearie, Chume Tenel Ka Djo)Badass not-quite-Jedi? Check (Imperial knights especially Ganner(I love him) and Antares)Badass nasty Jedi? Check (Ben, Jaina, Anakin jr, Shado, Wolf, Jacen,how cool he was at the battle with Onimi?, Tenel Ka)Badass Siths? Check (Krayt, Nihl, Caedus, Lumiya, Talon, Maladi)Badass non human characters? Check (SHADO :bowdown: , Ikrit, Wolf, Maladi, Nihl) I didn't liked the Clone Wars novels, the XWing novels and Knight Errant series. You should read KOTOR, Lucien is maybe one of the most complex character in SWUniverse imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I might pick up the Omnibus editions of KOTOR.I haven't read the X-Wing books (though I might someday) and I have no intention of reading Knight Errant. But the Clone Wars novels aren't that bad (most of them), IMO.And I agree about the Legacy era :). It's my second favorite period in the GFFA. (The first being the end of the clone wars/dark times). I tried to start athread like this a couple times, but it never took off, so I'm glad the have the opportunity to properly discuss SW now. Next question... favorite characters? (though it looks like you already mentioned most of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowKnight Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I, Jedi is probably my favourite book. I also mostly enjoyed the NJO books, but unfortunatley the later novels are pretty bad (except Crosscurrent). The Legacy comics are quite good though.

Darth Richard Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 First, use the fucking search function. There are other Star Wars topics, ffs. Second, you like FotJ and not the x-wing books...?

Ser Rodrigo Belmonte Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The KOTOR books and comics are my bread and butter! I also enjoyed certain clone wars books and a little after like Coruscant Nights and Shatterpoint. My favourite SW literature is probably the Jedi Civil War comics which depicts the war started by Exar Kun and later Quel Droma.... fav EU is KOTOR 1 the game no doubt!Yeah darth Richard is right OP, you should have this merged with existing thread like this:http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/82764-for-readers-of-star-wars-eu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
