Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey Brown
What if Darth Vader took an active role in raising his son? What if "Luke, I am your father" was just a
stern admonishment from an annoyed dad? In this hilarious and sweet comic reimagining, Darth
Vader is a dad like any other—except with all the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Celebrated artist Jeffrey Brown's delightful illustrations give classic Star Wars® moments a fresh
twist, presenting the trials and joys of parenting through the lens of a galaxy far, far away.

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger
In this funny, uncannily wise portrait of the dynamics of a sixth-grade class and of the greatness that
sometimes comes in unlikely packages, Dwight, a loser, talks to his classmates via an origami finger
puppet of Yoda. If that weren’t strange enough, the puppet is uncannily wise and prescient. Origami
Yoda predicts the date of a pop quiz, guesses who stole the classroom Shakespeare bust, and saves a
classmate from popularity-crushing embarrassment with some well-timed advice. Dwight’s classmate
Tommy wonders how Yoda can be so smart when Dwight himself is so clueless. With contributions
from his puzzled classmates, he assembles the case file that forms this novel.

The Truce at Bakura by Kathy Tyers
For people who need to know what happens right after Return of the Jedi. It’s actually a pretty
interesting follow-up to the film, in that it proves winning a war does not get you out of civil duties when
the inevitable fallout comes. It also allows Leia some closure with Anakin Skywalker that the films never
offered her, which is pretty fantastic. Poor Luke lets us know that Jedi Knight or not, he’s still awfully
young, and falls in love with the wrong girl. And Han is his usual charming (read: difficult) self.
The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton
Wait, Star Wars romance? You’re going to have to trust me on this one—it’s one of the craziest Star Wars
novels ever written, but it’s also some of the most fun you’ll ever have reading a Star Wars book. It’s got
gambling, C-3PO singing, club-wielding Force witches, kidnapping, the works. It’s absolutely not what
you’d expect, but after you read it you won’t be able to think of any other way that Han and Leia’s
relationship could have progressed towards marriage.
The Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy by K. W. Jeter
If I had my way, I’d run a little coffee club where people talked about Boba Fett all the time because I love
him. He’s my favorite. I’d definitely recommend his stories in the “Tales of” books, and some books in the
later, more involved series, but to begin we have this fantastic trilogy that details what Fett does after his
supposed “death” at the hands (stomach) of the Sarlaac. These books prove that this is one guy you really
don’t ever want to go up against. I shouldn’t say more; you’ll just have to read them.
The Han Solo Trilogy by A. C. Crispin
If you ever wanted to know what childhood was like for the infamous smuggler, or what made him so
inclined to hang out with Wookiees, this is where you need to be. It makes sense of the man in a way that
no one else has ever attempted, and Crispin’s meticulous backstory shows us how Han’s destiny was
always bound to drag him toward a rebellion and one princess all along. Also, take a look at the new
Timothy Zahn book Scoundrels, set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.
For People Who Like Short Stories
Want to know how Boba Fett escaped the Sarlaac Pit? Why that guy was crying when Jabba’s rancor
died? What the real deal was with the cantina band? Everything you’ll ever need to know is right here.
Pick up the “Tales of” books, written by a host of authors and edited by Kevin J. Anderson. They were
started with a trilogy of books that corresponded with key groups in each film—the Mos Eisley Cantina
crowd, bounty hunters from Empire, and the extras in Jabba’s palace in Return of the Jedi—and they are
the best set, though Tales of the New Republic and Tales of the Empire have some gems in them. (They
are edited by others and contain certain Expanded Universe characters as well.)
