I actually began my journey with the Expanded Universe novels in 2024 after my disappointment with The Acolyte. I started off with the Thrawn Trilogy and recently finished Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. I have so many more books to get to, but it’s definitely been restoring my love in Star Wars, or how it once was. So far, Timothy Zahn is my favorite of the authors.
There is so much I could say. I feel guilty now finding this thread when I could’ve joined two years ago.
