I'm about a quarter of the way threw with Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover and really blown away with how detailed, descriptive and complex he makes the writing in such a novel.

You actually see inside the head of Anakin Skywalker which I never expected. Stover also brings the feelings and thoughts of Obi-Wan to life which is great. He throws you INTO the space battles as though you were there which was a completely different and cool approach I didn't expect Stover to take. I understand now why so many readers liked Revenge of the Sith. Even non-sci-fi readers. Mainly because of the complexity and quality of the writing itself. I'm really enjoying it!

What does /lit/ as a whole think of all the Star Wars novels and book adaptions out there? Are there any others that are worth a read?

This honestly was not a bad book. It's genre for sure, but it was better than it had any reason to be.

I've heard the Darth Bane trilogy's good, and it's one of the ones I never got around to, so it's on my list.

Thrawn trilogy is an obvious necessity, even if it's no longer canon.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about the Thrawn trilogy. Heard a lot of fans enjoyed those books. Why aren't they considered canon anymore anon?

I loved most of the shitty star wars EU, reading tales of the Jedi before playing Kotor males for ultimate comfy experience

How long is this book? Im getting slightly interested. I think (assuming it was you) I was in the last thread you made about this book, and even then I mentioned the prequels problems stemming from things other than the concepts and themes. I would imagine they would work better in the hands of X writer doing a novel instead of the condensed movie format

I just checked and its over 450 pages in length at least. Its a pretty lengthy novel.
