The "novelizations" are the book versions of the movies. Just thought I'd clear that up. I'd recommend any of the ones that Timothy Zahn wrote, and of course all six novelizations.

Librarium Adept Posts: 837 Group: Members Member #16 Joined: October 16, 2005	Yeah and if you know what Warhammer 40,000 is then I have about 55 of those books. That's a lot of reading ( I estimate that I have read over 50,000 pages within 5 years)

Admin-type Guy Posts: 8,750 Group: Admin Member #2 Joined: October 1, 2005	The Person Oct 31 2005, 06:31 PM What's so special about the books? The movie novelizations cover some stuff that you don't see in the movies, although they follow almost exactly the same plot line (the one for Ep. IV was actually written by Lucas himself and published the year before the movie came out; sales were modest until the movie arrived). The EU (Expanded Universe) novelizations are written by fan writers and cover events outside of the movies, some going back over 4,000 years before the Fall of the Old Republic, the Rebellion, etc. My personal favorite author is Timothy Zahn. If any of the novelizations deserve to become the (speculative) Eps. VII, VIII, and IX, his "Grand Admiral Thrawn" trilogy would get my vote.

I havn't read those, have you ever read the X-Wing: Rougue Squadron series? Those books are good

Librarium Adept Posts: 837 Group: Members Member #16 Joined: October 16, 2005	I haven't actaully read any of those yet. Are they about the New Jedi Order training the next generation of Jedi or are they about the Jedi Order during the Old Republic? I think it was during the Old Republic but I don't remember.

I also used to love the Jedi Apprentice series when I was 10, so I still have a few of those.
