Hello Again Star Wars Fans Everywhere!!!

Hello again fellow Star Wars fans! For all the book readers out there, I have found the full list of Star Wars books in chronological order, that was recently updated in July of 2016. Books whose stories overlap within the same timeline are listed in “recommended reading order” for the best reader experience!

The list is as follows…

Years before/after Ep. IV ⇩	LEGENDS These books are part of the original Star Wars Expanded Universe, and follow an internally consistent timeline. Upcoming films will not be based on these books, but some parts of them may still be incorporated into future stories.	NEW CANON The newly standardized Star Wars “canon” includes all the movie episodes, The Clone Wars and Rebels TV shows, and new books since 2014. The Lucasfilm Story Group coordinates all new stories, including the films, to prevent contradictions between them.	Years before/after Ep. IV ⇩

*The original tie-in novel series to The Clone Wars animated series do not appear to be included in the New Canon. Despite having some timeframe contradictions with earlier Clone Wars stories, they were recently worked into the Legends timeline by The Essential Reader’s Companion.

**The Cestus Deception and Jedi Trial were originally placed later in the period between Episodes II and III, but were recently moved forward by The Essential Reader’s Companion in order to reconcile them with The Clone Wars TV Show and books. Anakin Skywalker is already a Jedi Knight at the beginning of The Clone Wars, but is still a padawan in The Cestus Deception and at the beginning of Jedi Trial.

I would like to personally thank you for visiting Star-Wars-Everything.com! I truly hope you enjoyed being here and I hope you found everything you were looking for. Have you collected all of the Star Wars Novel books yet? Which one is your favorite? I have yet to read any of the books, but I feel that I may start reading them very soon!

I couldn’t help but think as I was typing all this up, how cool some of these Star Wars Novels might be as movies! The Bounty Hunter Episodes, The X-Wing Episodes, The Black Fleet Crisis maybe? What do you think? Are there any Star Wars Novels that aren’t movies already that you would like to see made a movie? I would love to hear below! Thanks again!

Credits go to Yodasdatapad.com for the list of the Star Wars Books in chronological order! Although I did the works in creating and setting up this page and the links above, the list of novels and the two paragraphs immediately below the list are credited to Yodasdatapad.com! Thank you!
