Hello there,

I’m looking for any recommendations for books (or comics etc. I guess) that add to and help “improve” the sequel trilogy.

I’ve been listening to the audiobooks, and thought Shadow of the Sith did a really great job of this, but haven’t found anything that’s done the same for me yet.

I’m cautiously optimistic about Legacy the upcoming Rey/Leia novel, hopefully that can help “fill in some gaps” and give a compelling story.

Please try and keep things positive and try to avoid discussing the films themselves, unless relevant of course, but just to state my opinion, I want to like them.

Just finished Book of Sith and I will give it a 8/10. Simply because the extra side notes from various characters would throw me off. Overall, I enjoyed reading the different point of views of the Sith from the past. Their teachings of the dark side really intrigued me and kept me hooked. Darth Sidious’ part at the end of the book gave stellar depth to his character as a Dark Lord.

I’ve read the Darth Bane trilogy and of course the Darth Plagueis novel, and both are exceptional. Now I find myself wanting to learn more of the dark side and the Sith as a whole.

Hey everyone, I read most of this series back in elementary school, and they were awesome back then. I’d really like to read through them again, but I haven’t been able to find copies (digital or physical) through my local library, in ebook stores like Kobo, or PDFs online. Does anyone know where I might find this series again to read through?

(Not looking to break the piracy rule, just trying to ask people who know more about finding Star Wars books than I do)

This is a thread to talk with others about what you have been reading this week, discuss spoiler and non spoilers (tagged accordingly) about it, share your feelings on the books you've read (and on the books others are reading/about to read), and of course to give recommendations (both Star Wars and non) based off what they enjoyed.

There's so much of it too.

Sometimes it's smaller details like Luke being low-key obsessed with hot chocolate in Heir to the Empire. Sometimes it's a bizarre story beat or arc like Yoda Dark Rendezvous' multi-chapter saga of "the Jedi have to get through TSA at the Coruscant spaceport." Sometimes it can be the whole dang book, aka Courtship of Princess Leia.

Shout out to the X Wing books in particular. Still can't get over the scene in Iron Fist where >!everyone gathers to applaud a fully nude Wes Jansen and talk about how nice his butt is.!<

I get that it's not for everyone but it brings me joy.

I love Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn series. Thrawn is one of my favorite characters in the universe. So far I read through:
Thrawn
Thrawn: Alliances
Thrawn: Treason
Heir to the Empire (loved this one the most)
Dark Force Rising
The Last Command (finished this morning, what an ending!)

My question, is there a continuation of the story after the last command or after Thrawn: Treason? I really enjoyed both those series and would love more from those story lines. If that is the end of the thrawn story then bummer! But I would gladly listen to any suggestions for a new place to read into.

And a side question: I see the Thrawn: Ascendency series in the store, is that a different story from Thrawn, Alliances, and Treason? Or a continuation of it. Would love to read more about Eli Vanto if that is out there. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I have a 13 hour car ride today from South Carolina to NY and lots of time
