    Does anyone know if there's any site that gives chapter-by-chapter breakdowns of EU/Legends books?

    Wookieepedia is good, but couple problems with it:
    1.) A lot of the book summaries just tend to be the publisher's 'summary' found on the back of the book
    2.) Sometimes you have to click through tons of articles to get everything you want
    3.) Sometimes there's just too much information

    Any help here would be appreciated! Thanks!

    The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons

    Only half joking.

    Other than that I don't think so. Best bet would probably be to search around for a reread thread or something for an individual work.

    I recommend the Essential Guide to the Force with Wookiepedia articles to fill in gaps. A chronological summary is what you are looking for. The other Essential Guides would help as well.

    Check the Authors who wrote these books: Ryder Windham, Daniel Wallace, Pablo Hidalgo, Kevin J. Anderson

    I actually have the Essential Reader's Companion and Jedi vs Sith! Very good reads.

    Star Wars: The Essential Atlas is a pretty good read too. It not only gives you backgrounds of a planet, but tells you about events of different timelines. From the Old Republic to the Legacy era.

    Also, as far EU continuity goes,

    I would not underestimate the Dark Horse Comics Companion.
