Some of the best stories in the Star Wars universe are found in the books that are part of the Legends.
One of the main pleasures of Star Wars is the sheer breadth and complexity of its fictional universe.. It is the kind of secondary world in which a spectator, and a reader, they can get lost. Although Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm caused most of the Expanded Universe to cease to be canon - it has been renamed Star Wars Legends -, he is still very loved by many sectors of the fandom.
In fact, Reddit users have pointed out which of the many Star Wars Legends books should be considered the best, demonstrating how much pleasure can still be found in these various books.
Darth Bane Trilogy By Drew Karpyshyn
Some villains figure prominently in Star Wars history, and Darth Bane is one of them. Known for establishing the "Rule of Two" that governs the Sith, was the centerpiece of a trilogy of novels that developed her story in detail, showing how it became such an important part of the history of the Galaxy.
Sapitoelgato writes: “You do not need to have prior knowledge to jump to this point, but there are a lot of great stories set before this”. Considering how complex and textured the Star Wars story can be, this series is a good starting point.
Darth Plagueis By James Luceno
There have been many powerful Sith in Star Wars history., but few have wielded as much influence as the mighty Sith of Star Wars, Darth Plagueis. Since he was the mentor of none other than Palpatine, He is one of the most important characters, laying the groundwork for much of what would come later.
TeeRick puts it this way: “This is EU royalty.. This masterpiece tells the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, and fills in a staggering amount of holes left by Episodes I – III, and including IV - VI. This is also the book that will make you fall in love with the Sith and really want to find out how this madness started.".
Coruscant Nights Trilogy By Michael Reaves
Coruscant is one of the most important planets in Star Wars., first as the capital of the Republic and then of the Empire. So, it makes sense that it serves as the setting for the Nights of Coruscant Trilogy, de Michael Reaves, which centers on a lone Jedi who managed to survive the Order 66 and try to survive in the bowels of the city as a private investigator.
Theinvisibleguy3 argues that “it has a detective/noir feel to it.. In my opinion it's one of the most underrated series that I don't see mentioned often."
The Han Solo Trilogy By Ann C. Crispin
Han Solo is one of the best characters in the original trilogy.. We use cookies on our website to provide you with the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits., no matter how important it is, he's also kind of an enigma for a lot of the movies, with his unexplored backstory. This is what makes the Han Solo Trilogy by Ann C.. Crispin is so important. Before Solo described Han's history (particularly, his encounter with Chewbacca), this series was key to understanding its origin.
LominAle praises the trilogy, noting, "It does a great job of weaving together characters and events from the original trilogy (Jabba, Lando) without ever feeling like artificial fanservice.".
The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn
Thrawn is another villain who has exerted a powerful control over the imagination of the Star Wars fandom.. Largely, this is due to his presence in Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy, which was designed as a sequel to the original films and in which Thrawn was the main enemy. User Isord praises the series, writing, "It's a high-quality trilogy that perfectly embodies the feel of Star Wars.". Considering how important Thrawn has been to the Star Wars mythology, it is even more extraordinary that he has not yet appeared in a movie.
Traitor By Matthew Stover
One of the most interesting aspects of the Expanded Universe was the degree to which it took the events of the series beyond what was depicted in the original trilogy.. Noteworthy is the New Jedi Order, which focused on the invasion of the sinister group known as the Yuuzhan Vong.
As a result, many new characters emerged, as Jacen Solo, who is the son of Han and Leia. The novel has been very popular among Reddit users, with user Cern_Stormrunner declaring: “If you read an NJO book, be a traitor. I ended up selling all my Star Wars books when I lost my job a few years ago., but I kept that.
