What Star Wars books should I read up to the Legacy of the Force series?

I’m a huge Star Wars fan, and I really want to read the Legacy of the Force series, but I’m trying to read a lot of the major Star Wars books before then so I’ll have a better idea of what happened before then. I’m currently reading the Thrawn trilogy, and I’ve read the first 2 Jedi Academy books. What other books should I read in order to fully understand the Legacy series?

I am also a huge star wars fan and am currently reading the book star by star which is the 10th book in the New Jedi Order series and am on my way to reading the Legacy of the Force books too. But truth be told I am enjoying these books a lot! The plot is really good and each book has me totally addicted. Anyway, as to what books you should read, here is my list of books I think you should read before Legacy. I will also put one of these things * by each book that is really optional and really don’t need to read it to understand Legacy, but is still a great read! Also this is completely in order of the star wars timeline of when all these books take place. So here goes…

The Truce at Bakura* (takes place right after ROTJ and is a great read)

X-Wing Series* (haven’t read them yet, but hear they are awesome and will probably read them some time in the future) Includes:
-Rouge Squadron
-Wedge’s Gamble
-The Krytos Trap
-The Bacta War
-Wraith Squadron
-Iron Fist
-Solo Command
-Isard’s Revenge
-Starfighters of Adumar

The Thrawn Trilogy (one of my favorites and I think a need to read b4 NJO and Legacy)
Includes:
-Heir to the Empire
-Dark Force Rising
-The Last Command

The Jedi Academy Trilogy* (Haven’t read, might be good, some people said it wasn’t, Instead I would read the next book called I, Jedi)

I, Jedi (only SW book in 1st person. Main character is Corran Horn who is one of my favorite characters and is in the NJO series so you may understand him a bit more in that series if you read this book.)

The Crystal Star *********** (this is a completely OPTIONAL book! My advice: Don’t read it. I read two chapters of this book and i couldn’t stand it! save yourself the misery and stay away from this book!)

The New Rebellion* (Great read, read it if you want, doesn’t matter if you don’t)

The Hand of Thrawn Duology (Great books and would definitely read) Includes:
-Specter of the Past
-Vision of the Future

Survivor’s Quest and Fool’s Bargain* (Read it if you want, they’re mostly about Luke and Mara, though not a necessary read.)

Junior Jedi Knights Series and the Young Jedi Knights Series* (Both series I have not read yet and I don’t know if I want to. They might be good but I don’t know. Either way, I haven’t read them and I have had no trouble understanding the New Jedi Order series. Not going to list them cause there is a lot and a waste of time if you really wanna read Legacy as much as I do!)

The New Jedi Order Series (This series is required if you have any hope of understanding the Legacy of the Force Series. But not to worry, it is absolutely great! There are a few if not many depressing moments but there is some happy moments. There’s lots of action, with either x-wings, blasters, or lightsabers. There is also a lot of philosophical stuff about how one should use the Force, in which I find rather interesting. I can’t express how much I am enjoying this series, and I hope you like it as much as I do at the moment)
Includes:
-Vector Prime
-Dark Tide I: Onslaught
-Dark Tide II: Ruin
-Agents of Chaos: Hero’s Trial
-Agents of Chaos: Jedi Eclipse
-Balance Point
-Recovery (e-book you might be able to find online, but is included as the prologue in the paperback version of star by star)
-Edge of Victory: Conquest
-Edge of Victory: Rebirth
-Star by Star
-Dark Journey
-Enemy Lines: Rebel Dream
-Enemy Lines: Rebel Stand
-Traitor
-Destiny’s Way
-Ylesia (e-book, you will have to find it online)
-Force Heretic: Remnant
-Force Heretic: Refugee
-Force Heretic: Reunion
-The Final Prophecy
-The Unifying Force

The Dark Nest Trilogy (I heard this trilogy is really good and i am looking forward to reading it. I assume this is a bridge between the NJO and the Legacy series so I would read this b4 Legacy.)
Includes:
-The Joiner King
-The Unseen Queen
-The Swarm War

Legacy of the Force (And here’s the series you want to read and I can hardly wait to read!)
Includes:
-Betrayal
-Bloodlines
-Tempest
-Exile
-Sacrifice
-Inferno
-Fury
-Revelation
-Invincible

Well there you go, those are my recommendations of what to read and I hope I was helpful! And sorry it was so long I kinda got carried away and I have nothing to do at the moment except answer questions! Anyway I hope you enjoy the books!

15 Stars: Eisenhower, MacArthur, Marshall: Three Generals Who Saved the American Century $30 15 Stars presents the intertwined lives of three five-star generals—George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Douglas MacArthur—as America’s greatest heroes against the background of six unforgettable decades, from two World Wars to the Cold War, revealing the personalities behind the public images and showing how much of a difference three men can make not only to a nation, but the world.

15 Stars: Eisenhower, MacArthur, Marshall: Three Generals Who Saved the American Century $17 15 Stars presents the intertwined lives of three five-star generals—George C. Marshall, Dwight D.

15 Stars: Eisenhower, MacArthur, Marshall: Three Generals Who Saved the American Century By Stanley Weintraub $19.99 In the closing days of World War II, America looked up to three five-star generals as its greatest heroes. George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Douglas MacArthur personified victory, from the Pentagon to Normandy to the Far East. Counterparts and on occasion competitors, they had leapfrogged each other, sometimes stonewalled each other, even supported and protected each other throughout their celebrated careers. In the public mind they stood for glamour, integrity, and competence. But for dramatic twists of circumstance, all three — rather than only one — might have occupied the White House. <P>The story of their interconnected lives opens a fascinating window onto some of the twentieth century’s most crucial events, revealing the personalities behind the public images and showing how much of a difference three men can make. Marshall and MacArthur were contemporaries and competitors. Eisenhower was MacArthur’s underling, then Marshall’s deputy, before becoming MacArthur’s counterpart as a supreme commander, Ike in Western Europe, MacArthur in the Pacific. Each of the three five-star generals would go on to extraordinary postwar careers: MacArthur as a virtual viceroy of Japan, overseeing its transition to a new constitutional democracy, and then leading the UN forces in the Korean War; Marshall as secretary of state, author of the Marshall Plan, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize; Eisenhower as president. <P><I>Fifteen Stars</i> presents the intertwined lives of these three great men against the sweeping background of six unforgettable decades, from two world wars to the Cold War. It is history at its most dramatic yet most personal — a triumph for Stanley Weintraub, our preeminent military historian.
