There are many books in the Star Wars expanded universe, so how do you know which ones to read first? In this article, I’ll break it down into Time Frames, Characters, and Setting. You might also want to read the comics, but they should be read in chronological order. And as a bonus, you’ll get to see the characters you’re most likely to love! Regardless of which method you choose, you’ll have to read a lot of material to get a complete understanding of the series.

Star Wars books

If you enjoy reading about the Star Wars galaxy, you can find some of the best books in the Expanded Universe in the OMNI Bookstore. These stories are based on the movies and other Star Wars material, and will expand on events from the Revenge of the Sith movie and all of the other Star Wars movies. They will also give you an opportunity to learn more about Anakin’s origins and fall, and his eventual redemption.

The first books in the Star Wars expanded universe, “From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker,” were published in November 1976 and marked the franchise’s entry into the public consciousness. They were ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster, a former Disney tie-in writer who used concept art and scripts for inspiration. It’s not surprising that Lucas deemed these books a hit, since they sold well in the U.S. and abroad.

Characters

The Expanded Universe is an alternative history of the Star Wars universe. While the original trilogy focused on the prequels, the Expanded Universe explores the period after Return of the Jedi. Early works of fiction based on the franchise date back to the 1960s. Alan Dean Foster ghostwrote “A New Hope” in 1976. Other notable works of fan fiction include the Han Solo Adventures trilogy, which was ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster.

Ahsoka Tano, an apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, is a character of a different kind. Unlike her stern and dark master, Ahsoka is sunny and a great counterpoint to Anakin. In addition, the Clone Wars’ producers deserve praise for not removing her as the series’ conclusion. Instead, they incorporated her into other characters. She’s now an important player in the Expanded Universe, a great addition to fandom.

Time frames

The time frames for the Star Wars expanded universe are not entirely clear. One possible time frame spans the Original Trilogy, including The Phantom Menace and Return of the Jedi. Another time frame spans the era between The New Republic and Palpatine’s Empire, including Rebels, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi. Then there are the “Infinities,” which are set outside the Star Wars timeline and take place in the distant past.

The official timeline of Star Wars events begins in the movie Episode IV: A New Hope, the first installment. The timeline also includes a “Dark Period,” from the 1840s to the 1940s. In this era, the first Star Wars book was published, and it introduces a character named Cade Skywalker, who has been living separate lives from Luke since his birth. This time frame is similar to the original Star Wars timeline, but is based on a fictional world.

Setting

In the case of Star Wars, setting up an Expanded Universe is essential to ensure continuity in the entire series. This expanded universe is an entire galaxy’s worth of stories, spanning millennia. Its existence is often forgotten, but it might hold hints for the franchise’s future. Its creators promised to never create sequels to the original trilogy, so this expanded universe is an essential part of the franchise’s continuity.

The new books are being published under the Star Wars Legacy banner. They will include a novel about Lando Calrissian, a comic book series about her adventures as a bounty hunter, and a comic series featuring her. Marvel also plans to publish a novel about Luke Skywalker titled The Legends of Luke Skywalker. Both books will be set during the time period between A New Hope and The Force Awakens.
