VanorDM Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 As long as you don't mind going past Return. The Heir to the Empire trilogy is considered by most to be the best set of books in the whole EU. Those take place a dozen or less years after the New Republic is founded, and is about them dealing with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigiFluid Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Revan wasn't bad. Fatal Alliance was frelling awful, though, I'm still amazed that they even let that pile of crap go to print. The Republic Commando books are quite readable, even though they're not about the Rule of Two as you've asked. The four books (Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colours, and Order 66) follow two squads of clone commandos from the beginning of the Clone Wars up till the execution and immediate aftermath of Order 66. Personally I thought the fifth book, Imperial Commando, was crap though. And it doesn't help that Karen Traviss basically spat in the face of her SW fans rather than give closure on story threads she introduced in IC.

GreySix Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Here's a handy list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiFluid Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That is a BADLY laid out list lol I've never seen anywhere lay out timelines in relation to the prequel movies; generally accepted by both fans and Lucas Licensing is the BBY/ABY (sometimes BSW4/ASW4) dating system, relative to the original movie. Plus it's out of date re cancelled material, and impossibly vague on some books that are date specific in their own text! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBentOne Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Mace WIndu: Shatterpoint. It is just brilliant, i can't stress it enough. if Shatterpoint isnot best novel in the entire EU, it comes in very, very close behind.

There cant be one single EU book thread without someone crying over this issue when it wasnt even asked about.

It is just brilliant, i can't stress it enough. if Shatterpoint isnot best novel in the entire EU, it comes in very, very close behind. Yeah. Apocalypse now meets Star Wars! Some others I'd recommend are Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Truce at Bakura, and the Revenge of the Sith novelization. I personally enjoyed Jedi Trials as well. There's also Vector Prime which was pretty...controversial in some ways. P.S. I've read Revan and Fatal Alliance, but somehow haven't gotten around to Deceived. What do you folks think of it?
