Books to help understand kotor starwars world?

[Lidda-Bit]

So today I was at the bookstore.. and I see some books called expanded universe star wars books, and I see some familier names on them that I see in the Kotor games. Names Like Exar Kun I think was one.

 

Are any of these worth reading? Could anyone reccomend any of them to me if I enjoyed the storylines in Kotor 1 and 2?

 

Thanks! :D

Well, I don't know any books, but this site (wikipedia.org) has a ton of stuff on KOTOR/KOTOR2/Expanded Universe.

 

As for books, well, i'm sure others know these things.

I think Tales of the Jedi covers early SW lore. Be aware though that all these books are terribly written and I'd guess you'd have to be a big fan to enjoy them.

 

I think Dark Horse comics is also running a Kotor related series at the moment.

Dark Horse had a Tales of the Jedi comic series that covers the exploits of Exar Kun and such in the Sith War. I believe that that particular series is now out of production. Starting in January, you will be able to buy KOTOR comics which will be based in Revan's era and draw from the lore in Kun's era.

 

If information is what you are looking for, your best bet would probably be

"The New Essential Chronology" which covers all Star Wars continuity, including

that from the Tales era.

The New Essential Chronology is pretty good (summary style)

You can get some of the role playing books that deals with characters or history of the SW universe.

Yes, especially for the KOTOR era, where most characters are considered minor and don't have articles or have stubs merged in "Lists of minor characters". Marvelous.

the essential guides are good they have character or chronology

off topic but go get the dark lord book by stover *good read and only 320 pgs*

pretty sure darkhorse.com sells the tales of the jedi still

There is also starwars.wikicities.com (which is basicly a version of wikipedia that is devoted to just star wars)
