Gotta start with the granddaddy of them all. Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. It has one of the best non-Force using villains in Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Or if you want the badass route, go with the Darth Bane novels. It's set 1000 years before the movies, but Bane is awesome and it's always good to get a Dark Side perspective.

The Rogue Squadron/ X Wing series are also fan favorites, as are the young Han Solo books.

I like some of the prequel books...Cloak of Deception and Darth Plagueis are incredible, but it's hard to fully appreciate their contribution to the prequels without having read a LOT of other books as source material. Those two books actually make the prequels flow and make a lot more sense, but some of the references in them won't matter unless you really know what they're talking about.

My only problem with Rise of Darth Vader is that the book didn't have enough Vader in it! Isn't half of it from some random Jedi's perspective who survived Order 66? It's been a while since I read it but that part kind of pissed me off.

The Vader chapters of the book were good though, but I could care less about the random Jedi parts.

The book "the Truce at Bakura" takes place immediately after ROTJ if you are interested in chronological order. All the books are written to fit with each other, age the characters, etc. I think Del Rey's web site gas the entire list: so do the books but that's only as current as when the book was published

I second this.  The Heir to the Empire series is the best of the Star Wars books and one of my favorites of all time.  Its been a while since I read them, but I remember being impressed by the amount of technical detail put into the books.  The style is almost Tom Clancy like as far as description of the technology.

I'm just happy this thread started. Lol, I've trolled the Panthers message boards (mostly silent) for years now....I never really have anything good/funny/interesting to add to the football portion of the forums, but when I saw a thread titled "Star Wars books" I knew I could dive in and contribute. Thanks OP, I needed a good ice breaker.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
