The novel just fills out the movie so well. You get why Anakin turned and the scenes in the movie make so much more sense. I loved that the EU was written out of order but everything was so interconnected.

Have you read any of the new books? Not a fan of Aftermath at all.

I guess I'm really lucky to live in an area with a generally great library so I had so many choices. High school for me was defined by the Star Wars EU so I missed most the younger children's books.

It really does a great job of expanding things. One of my favorite scenes is the scene where the Jedi go to confront Palpatine. And Palpatine records it to make it look like the Jedi are trying to take over. It makes people going along with the massacre of the Jedi and the new Empire make more sense.


I'm pretty broke right now and also have no time for reading. The only one I've read so far is the Force Awakens novelization. I enjoyed that a lot.

I grew up in the Philippines. It was hard to find nerdy things, hard to find things in English, and generally hard to find good books that I was interested in reading. But the bookstore near us had all the EU books.

I liked that it explained Anakin's jealousy and why he freaks out over Padme even talking to Obi-wan.

I have a fairly easy job and lots of free time. It's winter, so I try to spend as little of it outside as possible, which means books, books, books EVERYWHERE. Plus it's after Christmas and I always get books for Christmas.

That's interesting that you were able to get the EU books in the Philippines. I can't imagine it being easy for nerdy things, though I am surprised at how easy it's been to find Harry Potter books all over. I have it in 17? languages right now and most stores carry the native language and the English ones too.

I'm taking the Bar in February, so any reading I'm doing is studying.

The English options were pretty much Star Wars and Harry Potter and then young adult books like Sweet Valley. I guess there must have been fans because the Star Wars books were surprisingly easy to find in English.

It was probably easier to import the books than to translate them.

Oh Sweet Valley, I remember those books too! That was more my early middle school years.

Best of luck on the bar! I hope you pass! I know how overwhelming it can be, so good luck studying.
