Star Wars is one of the greatest

I think this is why star wars and star trek both hit it off so well.

No i haven't at this point. I didn't even know about that. I will certainly look into that. I really love to get more into the star wars world. Has i have read just about every startrek book. I think its time that i now start reading the star wars. Thanks for this information my friend.

The best places to start our your local library (which is how I read most the books), your local book store, amazon, and http://www.wikipedia.org (generally accurate, especially the names of books; watch out for spoilers, including Luke's future wife). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_books A good place to start is Heir to the Empire. You'll meet many of the key players to EU, from hereos of the movies, to new characters, such as Talon Kardde and Mara Jade. Of course, you'll want to read The Courtship of Princess Leia. FYI: you won't actually be able to find novels regarding Luke going to the Dark Side. This took place in the Dark Horse Comics, but the novel writers decided to incorporate it. If you want to read it, you'll need to look for Dark Empire (1 & 2), and Empire's End. The artwork isn't that good, and the story isn't as strong as the novels (imo), but since you'll probably want to know what happens to Luke and Palptine, then you'll want to check it out. For some reason, EE seems to be "rare," as that the average prcie for the tradeback was over $30. I was lucky to get it on Ebay for $10. Last note, in the books, it seems people can have light sabers of any color they want. One of the new Jedi is being ambused by "dark jedi," and he comments "Great! We've got all the colors of the rainbow!"

Thank you i will look into this. I will also look for when luke turns to the dark side. Though it hard to image that luke turns evil. But hey you can't have it the way you want it can ya.
