My favorite? I, Jedi. (no surprise there)

Closely followed by Tim Zahn's Heir to the Empire Trilogy, cause that's where the whole EU thing started. And where my namesake originated.

I must say I love XWing books too.

Yeah, I seriously need to get caught up with NJO after internship. I've been spoiled already though, someone inadvertently told me some things that happened that I would have rather have just read.

Yeah, probably the same big spoiler I got. I'll leave it at that. We need to start an NJO section in here. But the moderator needs to get herself up-to-date too.

My favorite book is "Shadows of the Empire." I just loved the interplay back and forth between Vader and Xixor, although of course the best man won in the end. I also liked how a CD and action figures were actually generated for this book.

Then my favorites are the Bounty Hunter trio, and finally the NJO books, although I haven't gotten through Balance Point yet. I just can't concentrate on that author's writing for some reason.

I wish Diane Duane wrote for Star Wars. She writes for Star Trek, and is a great author!

Read the Heir to the Empire trilogy and the Hand of Thrawn Trilogy if you like I, Jedi. And DEFINITELY read the X-Wing series if you like I, Jedi...

I like anything that has to deal with the Sith or a Jedi. Im not too into the Empire, mostly the Outer Rim situations, and characters never created or made in the series but not linked to Jedi or Sith.
