Grab a cup of hot caffe, this is where I'm logging my progress
reading through pretty much any Star Wars book I can get my hands
on.
To be frank, most Star Wars novels are pretty forgettable. But
reading them usually makes me feel nostalgic - I have a lot of
memories browsing through paperbacks at the antique mall with my
grandma. "The Courtship of Princess Leia" was the first one I ever
picked up. Someday I'd like to revisit that one, but my to-read list
is so long (and getting longer)!
Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie
A holy grail item, but I'm not sure I'll ever spend $200+ on a book. Maybe if I win the lottery
Dark Disciple - Christie Golden
The book that introduced me to Asajj Ventress, one of my favorite
characters in the entire franchise.
Carrie Fisher - The Princess Diarist
Carrie Fisher was so hilarious and an extremely talented
storyteller.
James Luceno - Darth Plagueis
I loved the dark tone of this book. There's a reason why it's a fan
fanvorite and has it's own meme culture.
Scott Cavan - Dooku: Jedi Lost
Another book that features Asajj Ventress.
Trisha Biggar - Dressing a Galaxy
I would love to own this book, but unfortunately copies of it go for
well over $300-400 these days. I read a digitized copy of it online.
Greg Pak - Star Wars: Darth Vader
This comic book series heavily features Padme's handmaidens and many
references to Queen Amidala after her death. It even shows Queen
Amidala's final resting place, which as far as I'm aware is not
depicted canonically anywhere else (correct me if I'm wrong!).
