What are the best Star Wars books to read?

I’m usually not this nerdy, but Star Wars has always been my favorite movie series next to Twilight and Harry Potter. I’ve considered reading the books, but I can’t tell if they’re cheesy or not. I need some opinions. I want to read more of the ones where Anakin was Anakin, and not Darth Vadar. But I’m willing to give any a try if they’re good.

Oh come on now … Star Wars isn’t that “nerdy” … lol … seriously though, liking Star Wars doesn’t make you a “nerd” … it means you have an active imagination and that you aren’t afraid to use it. Anyways …

There are not a lot of books that have Anakin as Anakin … the only ones are “Jedi Trial” and “Labyrinth of Evil”. LOE is actually book one of what has become know as the “Vader Trilogy” … it consists of that book, ep III as “book 2″, and “Dark Lord: The Rise Of Darth Vader” as book 3.

Jedi Trial is a good read and gives us a chance to see how Anakin acts without Obi-Wan around. It’s also very ironic that the Jedi Master that Anakin goes with on this battle is Nejaa Halcyon … he and Anakin share a “secret” … both are secretly married. Nejaa’s grandson becomes one of the more powerful Jedi in the new Jedi Order that Luke creates. His name is Corran Horn. He is a major player in the X-Wing books as he is also an ace pilot.

Anakin & Obi-Wan do have a small role in towards the end of “Yoda: Dark Rendezvous” but that is more a book about Yoda … it IS a great read though & it gives a awesome look at Yoda and what he is all about … all I’ll say is that Yoda can be a major “player” if he wants to be … it’s some great stuff about Yoda.

The “Younger Readers” books mentioned by SWDarklighter are actually pretty good reads too and you won’t think you’re reading a “kids” book either … they are very well written by Jude Watson. They all have the beginning title “Jedi Quest” … there are 10 of them and a couple more Special Edition ones. They detail some of the adventures that Anakin & Obi-Wan have during the early years of his training.

As for what are the best Star Wars Books … I think most will agree that “The Thrawn Trilogy” is the best set. The titles are “Heir To The Empire”, “Dark Force Rising”, & “The Last Command”. They were brilliantly written by Hugo Award winning author Timothy Zahn. In truth it is these three books that re-awakened the Star Wars Saga. I usually don’t give much weight to what the “critics” say about things but these books had rave reviews … one said, and I agree totally with him, that these books captured the essence of the Star Wars story so well that you can almost hear John Williams soundtrack playing in your mind as you read the books … rare truth from a critic … lol … “The Last Command” is one of only a few books that I have read cover to cover in one sitting … I just couldn’t put that book down until I had finished it. The series is set 5 years after the events of ep VI. A New Republic has taken power in the galaxy and driven the remnants of the Empire to backwater regions of the galaxy. Han & Leia are married and expecting their first children … twins. Luke is struggling with his role as the only Jedi in the galaxy and trying to find info on the old Jedi Order all the while trying to figure out how to rebuild the Jedi Order. Zahn introduces a ton of new characters that will play major roles through out the other books of the Star Wars EU … Mara Jade, Talon Karrade, Captain Pelleaon and of course … Grand Admiral Thrawn … the last living member of Palpatine’s 12 Grand Admirals. I could babble on for quite a while about these books but I’ll save you the boring dribble and just say if you want to read a great Star Wars story that fits in perfect with the movies then this is the one to read.

Any of the books by Zahn are top notch as he is the “Dean” of Star Wars authors.

After that I would suggest the X-Wing books. I’ll admit that when they first came out I didn’t read them because I didn’t think I would like them … boy was I wrong. During a lull in releases I picked up book 1 for a quick “Star Wars fix” and was hooked by page 3. These books are simply great reads. They are full of humor, massive space battles and all the other stuff that makes Star Wars what it is. The “Big 3″ of Han, Luke, & Leia make only brief cameos in the books although Han does play a huge role in book 6 & 7 of the series. They are written by Michael Stackpole ( books 1 – 4, 8 ) & Aaron Allston ( books 5 – 7, 9 ) two of the other major authors of the Star Wars EU. These books introduce us to the rest of the new characters that play huge roles in the rest of the EU books.

I do have to say that I disagree with “Ann-Marie A”, something I seem to be doing a lot lately, on her list of “books to avoid”. I thought “The New Rebellion” was a great book … one of the few one shot books that can be said about. “Children Of The Jedi” and “Planet of Twilight” … well they were just Ok. I do agree about “The Crystal Star”. Just not a very good book at all. It shows what happens when you have a author that has mostly written Star Trek books try to write a Star Wars book … the two worlds don’t mix … not at all.

May The Force Be With You …
