    I loved the Bane trilogy - they might even be my favorite books from the EU.

    The Jedi Academy YA books are pretty good for what they are - I’d recommend at least trying them. The actual children’s books not so much.

    I’m about to start the New Jedi Order books, and I’m waiting for everything to go completely off the rails.

      There just sounds like there’s such good lore in them, a lot of the old republic era is YA if I’m not mistaken. But it’s for ages 8-14(?) so the quality and content is all over the place.

      My brother gave me his old Thrawn trilogy copies when I got back into reading, after those I read the two horror ones, death troopers and red harvest I think, and decided to go deep from the start. He had like 80% of the books found by then.

      He buys them used while he travels.
