It was one of the best ones Isaac Send a noteboard - 19/05/2013 01:50:18 AM

View original postI just finished Darth Plagueis and really enjoyed the book.

Also did an amazing job patching up the canon-damage and plot holes Lucas left in his wake.


View original postCan I have some advice on other really good Star Wars stories to read? I'm looking for Jedi/Dark Jedi based stuff... I don't feel like something about Han Solo etc,

The Darth Bane trilogy is good, though the first is best and the last weakest.

Stover's Revenge of the Sith novelization s much better than the film and is good read before Rise of Darth Vader and after Labyrinth of Evil. They serve as an effective repair trilogy to the film.

The Dark Forces Trilogy, along with Dark Empire, Crimson Empire and Tales of the Jedi, all audio dramas of comic books, are cheesy as hell but still pretty good.

The New Jedi Order series never did much for me but is pretty popular, and the Legacy of the Force nonet starts strong but goes down hill toward the end, the Fate of the Jedi nonet is much heavy on the Jedi vs Sith stuff and runs along fairly solidly.

And of course the Thrawn Trilogy, sort of a must read for any post-movies Star Wars Expanded Universe stuff.

I never really liked NJO or the other major SW series..... Anonymous2000 - 19/05/2013 04:09:56 AM 894 Views
It depends a lot on the author Isaac - 19/05/2013 05:15:17 AM 1057 Views
Stover is a vastly superior writer to Brooks and Salvatore. Werthead - 19/05/2013 12:03:22 PM 921 Views
Certainly for those books he was Isaac - 19/05/2013 02:32:14 PM 1025 Views

Please refresh my memory on Traitor.....why did you like it so much? Anonymous2000 - 19/05/2013 02:27:23 PM 1033 Views
Yes, it's that book. And for what it's worth, I think the NJO is the best thing to happen to SW. *NM* Kotagg - 20/05/2013 08:13:10 PM 498 Views
The journey was good, but the ending completely blew (which tainted much of NJO). *NM* Anonymous2000 - 20/05/2013 08:31:08 PM 499 Views
I almost completely agree with you here. DREWRULESWOT! - 20/05/2013 10:09:36 PM 917 Views

I actually thought Stackpole's work in SW was fairly weak for him Isaac - 21/05/2013 04:06:46 AM 885 Views
