      The Darth Vader ones are GREAT. Darth Vader 2015 and 2017 in particular. I think 2015 occurs after ANH. Very “prime” Vader. The 2017 one is my fav. It occurs right after RotS and we get to see him really become Vader

      I’ve read more of the novels than comics

        I looooove the start of the Marvel run with the comics set between 4 + 5, setting up the OT group as a team and detailing all the fucked up shit Vader got into.

          I haven’t read the new Thrawn trilogy, but the og sequels by Timothy Zahn from like the 80s are amazing. Heir to the Empire is the first one, so I was real excited to see that tag line in the Ahsoka trailer

          The Darth Bane trilogy is great. Just some ancient sith shit from the time when there were as many sith as Jedi and how it came to be that the Jedi thought the sith were destroyed

          RotS novelization is AMAZING. Read Labyrinth of Evil first. It covers the few days before RotS and leads right up to it. It covers “that business on Cato Neimodia” that Obi says doesn’t count as Ani saving his life

          Plagueis is also really cool. You get to see Palpatines rise to the dark side and some stuff that was happening behind the scenes leading up to and during TPM
