Both are out there. It's usually printed with the other 2 novelizations of the original trilogy.
This is what the current printing looks like: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-George-Lucas/dp/1101885378/ref=pd_lpo_card_2?pd_rd_i=1101885378&psc=1
If you want to start at the beginning, they have recently released an epic collection omnibus of the oldest "origin stories" comics about pre-KOTOR events, Tales of the Jedi.
Kobo store page -- Adobe DRM'd epub
Of all the ebook apps and devices I have, Kindle is no longer one of them.
"Lucasfilm also clarified that only the six previous Star Wars films and Star Wars: The Clone Wars should be considered canon as far as previously released material, though EU elements -- including characters and worlds -- could be incorporated into canon stories, which occurred in the prequels and The Clone Wars and will be the case with the upcoming Star Wars Rebels animated series."

Pretty much everything that's not part of the six movies + TV series is officially not canon unless it was to be added later. For instance, Mandalore, as it is depicted in the TV show, is canon, while Mandalore, as it is depicted in the RC books, is not canon and would fall under the legends title.
In reference to your follow-up question, I highly recommend The Icarus Hunt by Timothy Zahn.
It's a cool science fiction/mystery/criminal chase type of story and really well written.
Well I buy physical trade paperbacks or digital single issues, so honestly not sure. I inherited a lot of dark horse starwars comics from an old friend.
Edit: I remember this news, no idea if they removed them. Dark Horse had the BEST star wars comics, hands down. I remember reading through a miniseries about an imperial james bond esque agent, was hilarious.
But the problem is even searching I can't seem to find the content. Comixology's search/browse system is terrible.
EDIT: Derp, click the link dumby I tell myself.

Yeah looks like they're missing a lot of good stuff sadly.
Don't worry, this kind of thing has been around forever. (Proof) Besides, it isn't Disney's job to make new books and stories.
Oh yeah you clearly do have them, not sure how I missed them lol.
Yeah A Tale from the Dark Side was originally untitled and part of Tales from the Jedi Companion. It has several other narrative-style prose pieces scattered throughout, definitely worth looking into if you haven't read them.
Also, they may not fit your criteria, but since you have Lana Beniko's Journal and the Shuuru Datalog and they aren't usually counted among the SWTOR short stories for stylistic reasons or whatever, you might also want to include The Search for Oricon and Rishi: Places of Interest, as despite their formatting they're also written more as narratives than emails or blog entries, in my opinion.
The original darth vader issues.
Alternatively, just buy this omnibus
Try this one (box set): Star Wars: Jedi Trilogy Boxed Set (Star Wars: Jedi Academy Trilogy): Kevin J. Anderson: 9780553648393: Amazon.com: Books
I am not getting any indication of an abridgment when I looked at this item.
Yesterday there were more than 12. Maybe they've sold out since then? I'll edit this if I can find more
Try this link. It's mobile but it should work: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/mobile/s/Star+Wars/_/N-8qb/
There are some things I like from Canon: I enjoyed the Vader Marvel comics and The Mandalorian show. I always have a conversation with my nieces and nephew about the show since they're really into it. It's nice to see that Boba survived in Canon and Temura returning to play him. I really like the theme song for that show.
With Legends: I'm thinking about playing the original Dark Forces, I got it from GOG.com, I know it will be a challenge trying to play a DOS shooter on a modern system especially with Keyboard controls. I think some people managed to make it work.
It's $75 on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Rebellion-Board-Game/dp/B017MLIGP0/
Also the FFG games should stay in print for a long time, though specific expansions for games like X-Wing and Imperial Assault may take a while to get reprinted if they run out of stock.
I've always wanted to read the Dark Lord trilogy, heard wonderful things about it. Labyrinth of Evil isn't available in my country's Amazon store BUT I found this edition, which compiles all 3 of them. Do any of you guys have it and recommend it?
I have my finger on the mouse to buy this thing!
There’s still hope!
Marvel has been releasing the Tales of the Jedi series as Epic Collections trade paperbacks.
Volume 2 contains everything that OP’s Omnibus has, and the future Volume 3 will have everything from the second Omnibus.
(For anyone curious, vol 1 of the Tales of the Jedi Epic Collection contains the two Dawn of the Jedi series).
It's alright, I know people who doesn't like my tastes in book covers.
I'm the kind of guy who likes hardcovers, old looking leather spines, embossed arabesque arts etc
Like this:
Sufice to say when I grabbed these my reaction was "eew tacky" hahah
But the read was crazy good for anyone into Star Wars, holy crap. I wish there was a "collector's edition " for these.
You can get the rest in hardcover (I did this a couple years ago as NJO is my favorite book series, tied with LotR), you have to look for science fiction book club editions. SFBC for short. An example, the Dark tide duology in one book.
From what I've heard Zahn's EU Thrawn trilogy is really good and it's a far better sequel to "Return of the Jedi" than the Disney sequel (most people don't like the latter and with good reasons). It's on my reading list and I'm looking forward to reading it, but there are four other EU books that I want to read first because unlike the books on my personal bookshelf the books I borrowed from the public library have a time limit and a return date (the three other EU books I want to read first are; "Cloak of deception", "Rogue planet", "The Approaching storm", and "Labyrinth of evil") and I also have to read the original trilogy right before Zahn's EU Thrawn trilogy because that's the right chronology.
Speaking of "Cloak of deception", can someone tell me something. I checked out the EU timeline at the end of the complete prequel trilogy book*, but "Cloak of deception" is missing from the timeline at the end of the complete prequel trilogy book as if "Cloak of deception" had been released after that timeline seen at the end of the complete prequel trilogy book was made as if it wasn't the complete timeline. Is it because it was released later and the timeline was not complete at the time?
*This is my copie of the complete prequel trilogy:
https://www.amazon.ca/Prequel-Trilogy-Star-Wars/dp/0345498704
But from what I've gathered, "Cloak of deception" takes place before "The Phantom Menace" (because it's a prologue to "The Phantom Menace", just like "The Approaching Storm" is a prologue to "Attack of the clones", and just like "Labyrinth of evil" is a prologue to "Revenge of the Sith"), which means before "Rogue planet" and "Outbound flight" (in "Rogue planet", Anakin is 12 and Obi-Wan is 28, and in "Outbound flight", Anakin is 14 and Obi-Wan is 30).
They did publish dark force rising and the last command in german as a 20th anniversary edition. Time to learn a new language ^^ I love how they look
I guess to be fair to Heald, audiobooks weren't quite as big a deal back then as they are now. The production wasn't as polished and reader expectations weren't as high. So it may not be fair to compare him to our modern day audiobook environment.
Then you have the fact that abridged versions were the norm because back in the 1990s and early 2000s (listen up, children) people actually used physical cassettes and CDs, limiting how much they could fit onto those media. I think ROTS was the first unabridged one, in 2003? That's when, in my own mind at least, the modern Star Wars audiobook age truly begins.
All that said, there's a sample of Heald's reading of Jedi Search you can feast your ears on here: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Academy-Trilogy-Search/dp/B000NOIWC6/
It's like he's narrating a documentary called "What Happened After Thrawn?", and he pronounces Coruscant as "ko-roos-CAN'T" lol. Though this 1994(?), a few years before Ep I came out, and the official pronunciation wasn't known.
In this reference book (holy fuck 2016 was actually 5 years ago..) there's a page about Yoda's hut in Dagobah. Obviously we all see him losing his saber in ROTS, so it confirms that he at least made another one after his defeat against Palpatine.
Matt Martin also said that Yoda "most likely had more than one" when asked in 2017, when Soule burned Yoda's first saber.
Yes you have several options. Digital is cheaper but if your looking to have something on a bookshelf you can get the entire first series (the best in my opinion)Star Wars: Darth Vader by Gillen & Larroca Omnibus https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Gillen-Larroca-Omnibus/dp/130293404X/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=1EY3XO1C3UX08&keywords=Star+Wars%3A+Darth+Vader+by+Gillen+%26+Larroca+Omnibus+%28Darth+Vader&qid=1644277023&sprefix=star+wars+darth+vader+by+gill...
If that's too expensive you can go storyline by storyline, this is vol 1 the first six issues. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=B83CS143H0QE&keywords=star+wars+vader+vol+1&qid=1644277092&sprefix=star+wars+vader+vol%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-4
And if you just want to read them you can subscribe to Unlimited on Comixology i think its like $9.99 a month and read them all digitally that way.
Just a heads up their are three consecutive series. This one and the second one take place after ANH and the third series and current one takes place after ESB.
The Star Wars: X-Wing: Rogue Squadron series is amazing. Though I tend to skip everything until The Phantom Affair. You can get it in the Legends: The New Republic ombnius reprintings: https://www.comixology.com/Star-Wars-Legends-Epic-Collection-The-New-Republic-Vol-2/digital-comic/347292?ref=c2l0ZS9saXN0L2Rlc2t0b3AvZ3JpZExpc3QvQ29sbGVjdGVkRWRpdGlvbnM https://www.comixology.com/Star-Wars-Legends-Epic-Collection-The-New-Republic-Vol-3/digital-comic/580431?ref=c2l0ZS9saXN0L2Rlc2t0b3AvZ3JpZExpc3QvQ29sbGVjdGVkRWRpdGlvbnM
In this same vein, I picked up From a Certain Point of View when it was part of an Audible sale last summer. It is a collection of 40 short stories, each focused on some minor character from A New Hope. A couple were pretty off-the-wall, but most were well done and enjoyable. More than anything however, I have noticed that having listened to these stories, I am now seeing a lot more depth in the original film, because I now have a bit of back-story for some many of the minor characters. I definately recommend it for those interested in short stories and fan fiction.
>Are deleted scenes considered G-level?
>Yes, unless they conflict with something else seen in the films or if the reasoning behind deleting the scene keeps it from being continuity. [ADDENDUM: this applies only to deleted scenes publicly released]
This was straight from Leland Chee, the Keeper of the Holocron. He posted that answer in December 2006, after the movies were all done. George never said anything about the deleted scenes canonicity.
Thats not the first release bud, that is a subsequent re-release, that provides only the book, it was originally released in this edition... I forget the original price, but im sure someone out there can find it.
https://www.amazon.com/Jedi-Path-Manual-Students-Force/dp/1603800964
>... The book was like... over 100 dollars...
Or I can buy it off Amazon, hard cover, for $16 . . .
Start with https://www.tinkercad.com/ and grab like the first 3 youtube tutorials. It's much easier than you'd think - and IMHO the biggest block to "doing CAD" is thinking that it's hard or this mountain of learning. It's honestly not! The fact that TinkerCAD is available right there in a web browser, and everybody & their brother has done youtube tutorials on it, makes it incredible accessible.
Here are some links that might be helpful:
I have the collections and they are in great quality. Hope this helps :)
i found them easily on Amazon, see here for example.
Personally I think they look all great. Just look at these modern versions, they look just boring
I HIGHLY recommend the "Coruscant Nights" series by Michael Reeves. It is my absolute favorite series set in Star wars heres the Barnes and Nobles link --> http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/star-wars-coruscant-nights-1-michael-reaves/1101058162?ean=9780345477507
Ah, I confused this for a novel adaptation. I was just about to start the Jedi Academy Trilogy after finishing Last Command a few days ago as well, so this has worked out perfectly! Thank you for clearing it up for me mate :)
Or just visit the Amazon store without the affiliate link.
250$!?!?

It’s back to normal price from what I see.

Alrighty, here is a blown up PDF version of the cover
What I suggest you do is import this into Photoshop, make it whatever size you want, do any edits you'd like, save it as a png, and then get it printed at CVS or Walmart.
Additionally I've had good luck putting stuff like this on a canvas (canvaspeople.com) it gets expensive, but looks great!!!
LOVE that miniseries. Absolutely stoked that it's getting reprinted in an upcoming Marvel premium hardcover Omnibus-edition:
https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Legends-Empire-Omnibus/dp/1302934171/ref=sr_1_1
But do you have a hardcover copy of <em>Plagueis</em>?
Sure, here you go. The first volume actually reprinted the Dawn of the Jedi comic series. Which is a wild ride but did get a rushed ending.
The Amazon listing has the stories in the description. Looks like a good lineup! Iirc from another post, there are only a few SW Insider stories that aren’t in either of these.
Wait, I forgot the Lost Tribe of the Sith anthology.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Lost_Tribe_of_the_Sith:_The_Collected_Stories
Unfortunately don't know if they are available as audio book.
if you're interested in reading a detailed source on Lucas' creation of Darth Bane and a lot of the Old Republic Lore, read this -
Terry Brooks describes staying at Skywalker Ranch and having Lucas talk to him for hours and give him piles of notes on Darth Bane and the genesis of the Sith

I have this one. Looks almost identical, but mine has a hand towel holder.
Yes, the mass market paperback has the "new" cover done by Rick Kelly. Those began regular printing after 2016 and the Legends banner version of the original cover was in print before.
No way to guarantee which cover Amazon will give you though.
This epic collection of ancient tales of the jedi was just released: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1302926977/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got it for my kids for Christmas. It collects many of the comics series that were presupposed by the kotor games as historical events.
Here is <em>Outbound Flight</em>
If you don't want to use Amazon, you can find them pretty much anywhere that sells books.
That particular edition of Sansweet's encyclopedia is from 1997 and has been supplanted by this: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Star-Wars-Encyclopedia/dp/0345477634 -- published in 2008.
Friendly tip, in March, marvel is reprinting the whole trilogy in the Star wars legends epic collection series. It's gonna be $40 + tax new, but I think that is a pretty good deal for a brand new one with all 3.

Not allowed to link, but i can tell you it's easy to find the whole Comic for free online, if you would want to.
I started with 1 and was lucky enough to find it on eBay, but they are all available and cheaper than print on Kindle. They form a continuous story so tbh I’d read V1 and then move on when you have the cash. In fact the main writer / artist Ostrander / Duursema started from Republic No. 19, so in terms of Epic Collections, their story starts with Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Menace Revealed Vol. 2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1302920332/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WT0gFbDQ99W03
Looks like you can preorder here: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Legends-Epic-Collection/dp/1302926977/
There is so much from the OT movies and books that I wish would have been considered when writing the PT.
Also, is this a boxed set of the books? https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Boxed-Book-ebook/dp/B00513E56G/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=james+kahn+star+wars&qid=1594655883&s=digital-text&sr=1-2
Well this is moldy infuriating, this listing on amazon for the first volume seams to be only available to be bought digitally. But the others are volumes are available physically.
you can get a used one on amazon for £40 although it's only in acceptable condition ttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1878574566/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_kjPbEbCGAGCH5. It says you can get it on kindle and comicxology for £18, so If you are ok with a digital copy you can do that.
I received today my first Star Wars book ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/2413007296/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ), as Darth Maul is one of my favourite character I thought it'd be a great one to start and I'm really enjoying it. Btw if anyone got suggestions of books like that (legend or canon idc) that'd be great
There's an Amazon Kindle app compatible with most phones and tablets.
Unfortunately having trouble hyperlinking, so
Hard Contact: Star Wars Legends (Republic Commando) (Star Wars: Republic Commando Book 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00513HCS4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ef2sCbPFPTZQK

I'd go with the <em>Essential Guide to Warfare</em>. The New Essential Chronology is nice if you don't want to get into the Legacy era, but have an interest in the Yuuzhon Vong.
You would have to buy it. This DVD set is the one to get
I have it, excellent set. It comes with both the original editions, and the 2008 updates.
Local Comic book store or online. Here is a link https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Legends-Epic-Collection/dp/0785197176/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1484621379&sr=8-3&keywords=Marvel+Star+Wars+Epic+collection
I actually just bought this book today: Star Wars: The Rise of the Empire. It has Tarkin, another novel called A New Dawn, and three short stories connecting them.
When it comes to stepping into the EU for the first time, you should generally read the Thrawn Trilogy, X-Wing up to starfighters of Adumar/courtship of princesses/I, Jedi, and the Jedi Academy Trilogy first, as those are the earliest works that are integral to the EU (at least the post-endor EU). But really, you should read Zahns books in the order they were released. And yes, Mara Jade: by the Emperors hand is worth reading. It's well written, and revolves heavily around Mara as an Imperial Agent. It is more difficult to get a hold of now though, because of the Disney buy out. It's probably cheaper to get it in an omnibus with other stories. I got it with the Shadows of the Empire omnibus back when Dark Horse published them, but now they're probably in the legends epic collection published by Marvel. It's probably in the first volume of the New Republic collections.
edit: Yes, it is. https://www.amazon.ca/Star-Wars-Legends-Epic-Collection/dp/0785197168/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1478640230&sr=8-13&keywords=legends+epic+collection
second edit: Also, unless you already know Mara's mission given to her by the Emperor, then you may want to read the Thrawn Trilogy first.
Ah, of course! My bad, as I said I'm a little bit dopey, so I miss-read what you said. Alright, that sounds good. Honestly, I'll probably skip Dawn of the Jedi as I get the jist of things for the Jedi, and as of late have been really interested in the Sith origins. So I'll start with those sith ones you had mentioned.
I think that's just about all I have for questions at the moment. Just thinking about it actually, I might go for one of the 'Tales from' book to start of with actually, even though that's not in the correct order. It's just mini stories anyway, and I heard that they're pretty easy and fast reads, so it won't do too much harm. All they do is explain wee back stories for characters you see in the cantina or jabbas pallace. Oh, and then after that I might even just skip to Death troopers since it is yet again another side story. Then once I'm done, I'll start in the correct order in terms of books. I guess I can start anywhere really for the comics.
Edit: Would this be the first Tales Of the Jedi comic? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Wars-Tales-Golden-1996-1997-ebook/dp/B016B0KRMI/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1473157324&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=Tales+of+the+jedi%3A+Godlen+age+of+the+sith
Re-Edit: Even more confused now that I've also found this one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Wars-Tales-Jedi-Golden/dp/1569712298/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1473158020&sr=1-2&keywords=Star+Wars%3A+Tales+of+the+Jedi+-+The+Golden+Age+of+the+Sith+%231
read Aftermath
They are available used from amazon.co.uk at least, if not new.
Okay sweet! I forgot some:
Star Wars: Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Shattered Empire https://www.amazon.com/dp/0785197818/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_0XIqvb0ERD5Q8
November 17, 2015
Then there is another comic about journey to the force awakens centered around threepio, and a Lando comic; however, I can't find much details yet.
