Tales of the Bounty Hunters, Tales from Mos Eisly, and Tales of the Jedi sound like books I might need to look into.  If they steer clear of the revised miniature Star Wars universe where everyone is related to each other, they would be something I’m definitely interested in.

 

 

Tales of the Jedi (it is a comic book series, not any actual novels as far as I know) have a radio drama adaption for the first few parts of the series, as do a few selected stories from Tales from Mos Eisely (which is a novel). If you live in a city with a halfway decent public library, they might have them, and if not, should be able to aquire them for you through interlibrary loan.

As for the Star Wars: Tales of... books, a lot of it really is crap, but for the most part it is unrelated to the main story and characters of the films. Each one graps a handful of background characters and makes them the main character of their own random sci-fi story taking place in the SW universe. If you are into sci-fi books in general, you might enjoy these. The nice thing about them is they are collections of short stories, so if you find you are not enjoying one story at all, you can skip over to the next one without missing anything.
