Slightly off topic but are there any great Star Wars EU novels? I read Dark Lord of the Sith very recently and while I enjoyed some parts of the story (specifically Vader lamenting over his lack of control over his new body), nothing stuck out about the book all that much. I'm told the Zahn trilogy is pretty good, is it worth my time?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 24 20:55:41 2014 No.4502224 >>4501834 Structurally, he is clearly the antagonist. Antagonists don't always have to be straight up enemies with protagonists.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 24 22:50:28 2014 No.4502429 >>4501825 It's written in the spirit of the original trilogy and contains a fascinating villain (two of them, actually), so yes.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 24 22:51:28 2014 No.4502432 >>4502429 Is that it, in terms of good Star Wars novels?

In terms of GOOD Star Wars novels? I'm not sure. You could try the Young Jedi Order series. I've never read any of them, but so many of my Star Wars fan friends have raved about them.

I just hated the very concept of the Yuuzhan Vong, and if we have to lose the Thrawn Trilogy to expunge them from Star Wars canon, I'll consider that a sad but worthwhile tradeoff.

Maybe I should clarify, I'm looking for good novels that happen to have Star Wars as their focus, not books which are Star Wars tales first and novels second.

Truth be told, most of the EU post the OT was pretty awful. The only stories I've liked (that I've read) are the Legacy comics, and mainly for their concepts, not their storytelling.
