I, Jedi
Wraith Squadron series
Outbound Flight
Children of the Jedi/Darksaber/Planet of Twilight kinda suck but have nicer prose than most licensed works

RULE ONE OF /LIT/: NO FAN FICTION

Not Canon anymore, therefore fan-fiction

Is the entire Thrawn Trilogy worth reading? I'm eventually gonna get around to Heir to the Empire but that seems to be the only one people ever talk about

Tarkin is pretty alright but read the Bane trilogy.

It's unironically peak Star Wars

/co/, but Tales of the Jedi is pretty great.

It's still classed as fan fiction whether it be 'cannon' or not.

Also, some dude who wrote Star Wars books (forget which one) did an AMA on reddit a while back - apparently Stars Wars fiction writers make like $70,000 a year while Lucas and Disney laugh their nerd money all the way to the bank

The old sith books are good, at least I liked them.

What if the Force is not the star wars equivalent of God but the equivalent of religion itself ? And there's a good side and a bad side of it (like a matter of interpretation) and you have to choose.

I read a bit when i was a teenager but would not recommend it. Just poorly written sci fi sold on brand name alone.

It and the last command (book 3) are both excellent. Dark force rising (book 2) isn't bad either, I just didn't enjoy it quite as much

People seem to think it’s a rule that all sff related stuff goes there. There is no rule. Also, that thread is useless. They discuss nothing but the same three or four writers constantly.
