Originally published in 1995, this story, the first installment in The Corellian Trilogy is set 18 years after the Battle of Yavin. Allen has…

Star Wars: The Crystal Star (1994) – Vonda N. McIntyre
I should have listened to my inner voice on this one. I couldn’t recall much of The Crystal Star as I hadn’t read it since it came out in 1994, but I remembered I didn’t care for it a lot. And that’s weird, because generally I like Vonda N. McIntyre’s work. She wrote the novelizations…
Star Wars: Champions of the Force (1994) – Kevin J. Anderson
This week, I finish off Anderson’s Jedi Academy Trilogy, which I haven’t read since it came out, thirty years ago!! WOW! And yet I remember picking it up on the day of release, I remember throwing on some John Williams, and diving into the story to see how the author wrapped up his tale. Luke…
Star Wars: Dark Apprentice (1994) – Kevin J. Anderson

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… The young adult adventure series, set shortly after the event of The Return of the Jedi continues with The Lost City of the Jedi. Like the first story in the series, there’s a bit of an environmental theme at work, even as Trioculus seeks the…

Star Wars: Splinter of the Mind’s Eye (1978) – Alan Dean Foster
Back in 1978, we had just one movie, and a handful of toys available from Kenner, not taking into account a ton of tees, trading cards, and almost anything else they could plaster the name Star Wars on. People were clamouring for more adventures from Luke Skywalker and the rest of the rebel alliance, but…
Star Wars: From The Adventures of Luke Skywalker (1976) – George Lucas
I’d figure I would give the crew of the Enterprise a bit of a break, and dig into the Expanded Universe of the Star Wars stories, or as they are now known, Star Wars: Legends. Ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster, the adaptation of Star Wars came out in paperback in 1976, while the production was…
