It was also meant to be a sort of "jumping on point" for new readers (starting with the first book, Vector Prime), however, to get the fullest enjoyment out of the series, most fans suggest either holding off on this series until after you've read more of the other SW novels, or, at the very least, reading The Essential Chronology or The New Essential Chronology to get an overview of the events that occured between ROTJ and the NJO. Legacy Era Containing the Legacy of the Force novel series comprised of 9 books (set 40 years after A New Hope), the current 9-book series Fate of the Jedi and the ongoing Legacy comic series (set about 100 years after the LOTF series). Legacy of the Force acts as a very good jumping-on point to the current novels (though you still might want to consider breezing through the New Essential Chronology first to get a little more of the backstory). Fate of the Jedi is a follow-up to Legacy of the Force. Meanwhile, the Legacy series, set so far ahead on the timeline, is almost a blank slate when it comes to backstory found in existing sources, so it too can be enjoyed fairly easily without any backreading. However, if your looking for some backstory, in broad strokes, to the LOTF and FOTJ, without reading the New Essential Chronology, take a look at Traitor and the Dark Nest Trilogy.
