>Shatterpoint
Shatterpoint is essentially “Heart of Darkness” with Jedi, and brings a whole lot of apartheid analogues which make it one of the most explicit depictions of racism ever seen in Star Wars. This is not just “these people don’t get along” like the Naboo and Gungans either, there is blood spilled, it is incredibly violent in places, often from the most unexpected areas and the whole book is relentless in wearing down its protagonists and the reader.

It’s also the greatest insight into the mind of Mace Windu. While he’s arguably one of the most popular prequel characters, in the movies he is essentially just Mace Windu: Awesome Jedi. Even in the comics and The Clone Wars we don’t get a great deal of information about the kind of man he is. Shatterpoint is essentially a Mace Windu character study and gives some interesting looks into not only Mace, but also the nature of the force and the dark side, and what it means to be a peacekeeper in a time of war.
