[QUOTE="BrooklynKnight, post: 3442846, member: 4490"] If you pick up one of the latest novels at any book store (The Legacy of the Force books... Exile i think is the most recent) you'll see the complete and comprehensive timeline of all the canon novels in the EU. From there you can chose to read them chronologically or do some on line research and read them in the order of publication. I've read just about every EU novel that ties in to the original trilogy characters. I've avoided most of the novels that tie into the Clone Wars and the Old Repulbic and stuff. Though there are a few that tie into the EU decades later. In any case....the books vary greatly in quality. If you're gonna be selective then I strongly recommend you ready any books by Timothy Zhan, Kevin J Anderson, Troy Denning, Micheal A Stockpole and I think I'm forgetting two others. I know R.A. Salvatore did the opening hardcover for New Jedi Order but i'm not sure if he did anything else. Personally If I was in your position, I'd read them chronologically. That means you'd have to start with the few books taking place BEFORE ANH. The original Han Solo and Lando Calrissian Trilogies originally released by Del Rey (they weren't originally canon but at some point they WERE brought into the time line and their details worked into the EU). In any case, use the timeline. And do NOT discount the Young Jedi Knights and Junior Jedi Knights novels that focus on the Solo kids. They're gonna be essential reads if you're gonna continue on into the New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force series. Also. I'm fairly sure MOST of the Dark Horse Comics are cannon. Luke's fall and redemption from the Darkside is mentioned often and they directly impact the events in two of Zhan's trilogies and some of Andersons books. GOOD LUCK, ENJOY AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! [/QUOTE]
