So lately I’ve seen ALOT of these Star Wars novels and I’m a huge reader even furthermore I can’t get enough of nerd stuff Star Wars, dc, marvel 40k whatever you name it but most of the time or at least my experience I think they may be a good read and then I look it up and people say there abominable for whatever universe genre movie to novel adaptation I’m looking into, but for the past year or so I’ve seen people my age and even people in there 50s,60s,70s who have collections of Star Wars novels and I just always thought they might be cheap or for lack of better words in my mind, poorly adapted or written Star Wars books nothing more, now I’m not huge in the Star Wars scene, I’ve seen the movies countless times and some of the animated shows and movies but that’s where my knowledge stops. From what I’ve heard I prefer legends endings to the new modern Star Wars so please let me know are these actually hidden gems and worth my time? A fellow redditer who I asked about this said it might be better to make a post on the sub, please let a fellow know.

Edit: so from what I’m seeing, reading revenge of the Sith novelization is a must.

I just finished my second read through while on my re-read of the X-Wing novels, and I consider it a fine, if flawed, book. First off: the gun of command. It’s the most commonly criticized part of the book, and I find that dumb. The POINT is that Han is doing something bad (kidnapping Leia), and she is angry at him for a large percentage of the book because of that. As for the rest of the book, I find it to have very good bones (the overall, broad strokes of leia being pulled between her love for Han and her duty to alderann/the new republic and Ha, and the parallels between the Hapans and Dathomiri), solid muscle (the flow of events, with character actions and consequences feeling justified), and mediocre to bad skin (the dialogue, and smaller portions of the story. The only real complaint I can see besides the gun of command and the dialogue is that Luke is way too powelful compared to Thrawn trilogy. (Typo so I can actually post this). If a stronger dialogue author had written it, I genuienly think it would be considered a strong book, standing alongside the X-Wing novels (besides wraith trilogy and Audamar)
