there is a fantastic audiobook on youtube of hard contact

I saw you on Talking Story, and your video was fun. They are doing some things very well with their channel, and their community is just as amazing as them. Maybe you might read a book of mine, one day. I would never ask someone to read a book they wouldn't like.

Warbreaker has my heart! One of my all time favourite Cosmere book and in general fave books😊and The Stormlight archive is on par with Warbreaker! I’ve been contemplating whether to read Yumi and the nightmare painter and Sunlit man as Tress and the emerald sea was one of my least enjoyed books

Love the Dreamlands. Thanks fella

My personal list from what I’ve read: 1. Lost Stars 2. Lords of the Sith 3. Thrawn 4. Dark Disciple 5. Bloodline 6. Tarkin 7. Catalyst 8. Shadow of the Sith 9. Light of the Jedi 10. Twilight Company

Looks like you're going to have an interesting month. I dig the cover for Falling into Oblivion. Will look out for your take on Litany of Earth as well, I've come across Emrys' books multiple times but I don't know anyone that's actually read them - you'll be the first! Hopefully the novella works out great and sets you up for October.

Nice ranking. If i had to recommend 3 canon books not on this list, I'd go for: Inferno squad (my personal favourite canon book) Brotherhood (which id say is the best prequel era book) Rebel rising (I'd say is up there with lost stars for the ya novels)

Loving your videos and hearing your thoughts! Your delivery feels very kind hearted and friendly, keep it up!

I really like the Steve Zahn books.

I would add to look for stories about your favorite characters. You like Mace Windu? Try Shatterpoint. Boba Fett? Try The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. Qui-Gonn? Honestly, the Jedi Apprentice series, though for younger readers, is actually pretty good overall. The best thing you can do is find a good group of Expanded Universe fans and get their opinions. We're generally a pretty nice group!

Missing a lot of EU you haven’t touched the sides. I would argue your choices were awful.

Surprise September sounds fun to do. Will be interested to see where it leads!

good video bro

I was in such a star wars slump for the past few years, just been slowly becoming more disappointed with things until just these past couple weeks, been watching the movies again and just read the Thrawn Trilogy for the umpteenth time and I'm loving Star Wars again

Darth Plagueis is my favorite Star Wars book. I would say even if you only like Revenge of the Sith out of the prequel movies you will likely really enjoy Darth Plagueis because as was stated it is Palpatine’s back story. The end of the book overlaps the the events of the Phantom Menace and actually captures some of those events in a brief, fresh way that you may appreciate if you don’t like watching Episode One. I won’t spoil anything here, but the ending is very mind blowing and satisfying.

Darth Plagueis is easily the best Star Wars novel in my opinion, The Last Command is pretty decent as well.

Go chronologically, starting with Dawn of the Jedi. I've been gradually working my way through Legends over the last year or so, while also building up my own historical head-canon. I'm currently playing the Old Republic game and reading Fatal Alliance. The Old Republic period is easily my favourite era in all of Star Wars, as it has so much lore and history to immerse yourself in!

I'd say that if someone want to start reading SWEU, the X-Wing Squadron books are a great introduction to it's universe with ton of action and lot of known characters that shows up here and there in books. I've read them 30 years ago and I remember being sucked in the universe by them :)

Start with the oldest, work your way forward. Simple. Just absolutely slam on the brakes before you get to 2012.

🔥🔥🔥

You are too invested in the prequels. The good parts of the EU precede or stay as far away from the prequels as possible. The rule of 2 sucks

love the distant shirt 🤘

Great list man, those are all some of the best of the new canon. I'm right there with you on Claudia Gray, Lost Stars proves that SW can tell a different type of story in an utterly spellbinding and unforgettable way!

I’ve read the Thrawn and Darth Bane trilogies. Both reignited my love for Star Wars.

Great review! This has swayed me to continue going with the book since it's really slow to start. I think that it will be worth it, eventually as the book goes along.

completely agree, if in doubt just go with Heir to the Empire. 30 years on and it's still somehow the best star wars content ever printed.

Good video! I've read all of these books. Definitely read The Thrawn Trilogy, Darth Plagueis, Darth Bane Trilogy. Vader is a good book. Another great entry would be the Rogue Squadron series. Good recommendations.

Awesome picks! Great video

Start with Heir to the Empire like we all did, once upon a time…

the x-wing series (10 novels) the jedi academy (trilogy) echoes of the past and vision of the future (the hand of thrawn duology) the truce at bakara (stand alone) the courtship of princess leia (stand alone) I jedi (stand alone jedi academy tie in)

The Expanded Universe, also called Legends, also known as REAL STAR WARS.

There's no fkn way you are recommending kenobi. A dumpster fire of a book that features kenobi on approximately 15% of the books pages and the author is so terrible at writing they start sentences with "and" like their life depends on it and have arbitrary paragraph breaks with the next paragraph continuing the preceeding one because they dont know what a paragraph actually is.

Legends are my canon. There are two amazing time periods with Legends Novels. First, the Clone Wars era novels. Some are better than others, but an amazing trilogy of books in that time period that everyone must read is Labyrinth of Evil, Revenge of the Sith, and Dark Lord, The Rise of Darth Vader. Also, the years right after Return of the Jedi include the X-Wing Rogue Squadron books then go right into the Thrawn trilogy. After that I Jedi and the 2nd set of Thrawn books Hand of Thrawn.

Awesome video & subbed. Any chanceof something similar for the star trek series that continue the shows?

No. Darth Revan was the origin of the rule of 2. Read the bane books

if you are german just listen to the audiobooks 🤤 original voice actors and music also one book not listed here that has an audiobook is labyrinth of evil

Awesome. You need to do more Legends videos!

I loved the Yuuzhan Vong series. It's long af, but i really enjoyed that there was always another book to read and kind of enjoyed that aspect of it.

Great job! Wonderful video. I might recommend chapters for the next one of people want to skim to the next book you're talking about but really enjoyed it.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this. I have been looking for a guilty pleasure reading list, and you have just provided it. Liked 'n' Sub'd 💫

Nice video, I loved the Bane Trilogy and Plagueis book. I enjoyed the Heir to the Empire trilogy but didn’t get the hype that others felt for it.

Great video! Would love more Star Wars

Plagueis is my favorite Star Wars novel. I also enjoyed the Darth Bane trilogy. Two EU books I also liked were Shatterpoint and Dark Rendezvous.

Sick, I've been looking for exactly this for a while. Great video, I enjoyed the style of standing and talking with less editing - subbed, have a good one 🙂

I love Color Out of Space! What do you have in the terrarium in the back?

Maul:Lockdown gotta be my favorite EU novel. It’s such an isolated event that it can still be canon and it also helps explain how maul has such an extensive knowledge of the criminal underworld in clone wars. Pretty violent too, Disney’s def not making that version of maul into live action 😂

Exactly the video I was looking for

I need to check out Dark Lord - Luceno's one of my favorite EU writers. Will be a while before I get to him though, I kind of started at the top of the timeline and I'm working my way down through the EU stuff that I haven't read as yet. Awesome recs!

Subscribed because I am a gigantic HPL fan and I love your hevy devy shirt

Excited to start Deadhouse Gates. Will be my first “Buddy Read” on Booktube.
