November 14, 200421 yr i dont have much money so I want to buy one good book, what is one that isn't part of a trilogy and is pretty good read
November 14, 200421 yr the original star wars book was pretty good. i read that when i was 8. the star wars picture storybook was also good. it had nice pictures. dumber than a bag of hammers
November 14, 200421 yr i'm more into a novel or something i am 20 maybe you should read something else besides star wars novels then. dumber than a bag of hammers
November 14, 200421 yr I think that the THRAWN trilogy books ("Heir to the Empire", "Dark Forces Rising" and "The Last Command") are the greatest SW novels out there (even though the trilogy's ending is as lame as ever...). Everything else is just adding useless cr@p to the universe. Resurrecting the Emperor or some random Dark Lord who goes on to create yet another superultraweapon but gets killed again by a random jedi (preferably Luke or one of his students), or showing how stupid the Empire is by somehow managing to get defeated by Han Solo in a single fighter despite having a fleet of ISDs in the system...

I'd recomend those too. Thrawn is a very interesting character. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
November 14, 200421 yr Granted I haven't read very many Star Wars books, but one of my favourites always Splinter of the Mind's Eye, set sometime between episodes IV and V and written by Alan Dean Foster. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
November 14, 200421 yr I actually liked the "Medstar" duology (Battle Surgeons and Jedi Healer) by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry very much.
November 14, 200421 yr Try out Heir to the Empire. If you don't like that book, then it's not worth getting the rest of the series...let alone any other Star Wars book. I think you'll like it.

November 18, 200421 yr Heir to the Empire. I also liked this book. The whole trilogy in fact and the Thrawn duology. Also by Zahn. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
November 18, 200421 yr the THRAWN trilogy books ("Heir to the Empire", "Dark Forces Rising" and "The Last Command") are the greatest I second (triple?) that. The X-wing series of books are quite a fun read too. I get the classic Star Wars feel from them. Ala: SW/TESB/RotJ. The 1st and 2nd in the series are a must read. There is also this other book, a collection of stories called : "Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina." It takes the perspective of many different aliens and humans' tales and adventures with the Cantina as a central theme. It takes place at the time of the original Star Wars. Some mentions of a boy and two droids, and some old guy too. I will just say... Its a keeper.
November 21, 200421 yr i'm more into a novel or something i am 20 maybe you should read something else besides star wars novels then. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've only read the Thrawn trilogy and the Jedi Academy trilogy, years ago. Out of those, I liked the Thrawn books most. JA trilogy was kinda cheesy. I'm not planning to read any more SW books, as it seems most of them are crap.
November 22, 200421 yr I'm not planning to read any more SW books, as it seems most of them are crap.
November 24, 200421 yr I read an Aliens book once to see what the pro-fanfic genre was like, it was very easy to read and mildly entertaining. same thing with SW?

November 24, 200421 yr From the little I've seen the comic books are pretty good. Well the recent comic anyway. The early stuff was...not good. Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
November 30, 200421 yr The official book to ROTS looks quite good! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I suppose that depends if the film is any good. But from the trailer it looks like it will be.
December 11, 200421 yr the unifying force is a good book, but you have to of read most of the others for that one to click completely. the best one off star wars book for me is starfighters of adumar
