RE: What is the best Star Wars Book ever..........

I'd have to say that the best Star Wars book ever would have to be The courtship of Princess Leia.

 

Best Book(s): Anything by Michael Stackpole (except Dark Tide I and II), particularily I, Jedi. I liked How it was in first person, and I also like Corran.

Crappiest Book(s): Anything by KJA. The inaccuracies really bug me. He keeps saying the Falcon has turbolasers.

 

Star By Star

Tales From The Mos Eisley Cantina

Cloak Of Deception

 

Starfighters of Adumar, followed by the Wraith Squadron series. Kettch and Ton and Face rule!

 

I'll chime in for Starfighters of Adumar. Great book, easily my favorite.

 

For me, HTTE or Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina.

 

Heir to the Empire

 

A beautiful little pre-ANH novel called "Golden Age of the Empire." I simply can't put the thing down!

 

I dunno, I Jedi was pretty good, but all of Zahn's work rocks, as well as Rogue Planet. I can't chose.

 

Since when is there a book called "Golden age of the Empire..."

Isn't it Golden Age of the Sith????

 

Since when is there a book called "Golden age of the Empire..."

Not for some time, I'm not finished writting it!

 

Star By Star, no offense but it was very well written and had most everything you would want in a novel.

The next few would have to include the Thrawn trilogy and duology, I Jedi, Vector Prime.

There have been some very good books, but don't forget the stinky ones. The Crystal Star and Black Fleet Crisis. But overall they have definitely done 1000 times better than the Star Trek books.

 

Best star wars book ever in my opinion is Visions of the future. I liked I jedi. and the jedi acedemy trilogy too.

 

With out a doubt I, jedi and the jedi acadomy books.

 

Children of the Jedi,The Crystal Star, Darksaber, Planet of Twilight, Black fleet crises, The wrost are the trawn books and star by star and the X-wing series


just kidding
CotJ was ok, CS sucked, DS was good, PoT was ok Trawn books rocked as did star by star and the x-wing series

 

Vector Prime is my favorite Star Wars book and the X-Wing series is my favorite Star Wars series.

 

Courtship of Princess Leia
-nothing captured the essence of Star Wars Like it.

A close second is the Heir to Empire Trilogy.
-also a good picture, but didn't go as deep into the character interrelationships as Courtship.

In all honesty, it is really hard to determine a best book...if it's good, then anyone could have it as a favorite.

Now BAD books...that's easier to Define...

Crystal Star? Planet of Twilight? PEWWWWWW!

 

I, Jedi is my favourite even though CoPL is a close second

 

The Courtship of Princess Leia is my favorite.

Followed by Star by Star.

Then the Hand of Thrawn Duology.

Rebirth was ok to.

 

I don't think I could pinpoint the best book. But the best series (I think) are the X-Wing books, the Thrawn Trilogy and the NJO.

 

I really enjoyed 'I Jedi' too, but my dead set favorite is the Brian Daley Han Solo trilogy. He captured Solo's character to perfection, as well as a distinctly Star Wars flavour I haven't found since. And they were funny!

 

Shadows of the Empire. It explains a lot about a lot of the characters, and the way they act in RTJ. Plus, It's a great book, and who could ever get over C-3PO flying the Falcon.

 

Heir to the Empire Trilogy - that brought Star Wars back to life for us.

 

I, Jedi
Shadows of the Empire
Vision of the Future
Thrawn Trilogy.
