If you were to a Legends version of this, I already know what you would pick for Phantom Menace, and maybe the rest of the films.

Rogue One was so much more fun having already read Catalyst. It was a great tie-in and the payout was awesome.

Great video! I'm more of a EU guy, but this gave me the spark to also start reading the Canon novels. You've quickly risen to be my most favourite channel to watch. Thank you for all the videos!

You should make videos like this for TV shows, animated shows, video games, etc

9:18 you send the thing!

I enjoyed this video a lot. Seems I have a few more SW books I need to purchase. Oh darn, lol.

Thank you so much 😊 i added them all to my list they all sound exciting . Finally the clone wars movie and novels are talked about

This was a fantastic video. It also sets a good timeline up since I've been trying to figure out where to begin in the Canon and also how to have them mirror the order of the movies

Thanks for the Advice. And I liked that you added the Clone Wars movie, and I intend to read the Dark Disciple next.

I love this video. I actually came to start reading Star Wars books because I saw a recommendation of a book to watch if I had liked Andor. (Lost Stars). Looking forward to more videos like this.

Thanks for these insights Jonathan. A long-time movie fan, I’ve only recently gotten into the books, both Legends and Canon. As I’ve been collecting these books, it is interesting to discover how and where these tie into the films. Because the sheer number of novels is daunting, I’ve decided to start with the Youtini Ultimate reading order (I think it’s called). I’m just about to start Bloodline to round out their ‘foundational five’ and I’ve enjoyed everything so far. I’m looking forward to so many of these, particularly the Thrawn books, since so much has been said about them and the character is not referenced at all, IIRC, in the movies. I’m just starting with the series shows too, so I’m just meeting characters such as Ahsoka, etc., which I see are important characters in the books.

Another amazing video, thanks for the excellent content!

I thought this list was great. Didn't mind the Tarkin pick but I'm a fan of the character and Luceno SW in general so that helps. As for Empire I can see Thrawn working there, but first thing that came to mind for me was Battlefront Twilight Company by Alexander Freed. I haven't read that book in years and yet I can't not think of it when I watch The Battle of Hoth.

Great idea for video. Never seen it before

Yes

I am more of the Legends era reader, but I might have to pick up a copy of Princess and the Scoundrel.

Here are my picks, made before watching through your picks. TPM: Master and Apprentice (match) AOTC: Dooku: Jedi Lost The Clone Wars: Dark Disciple (match) ROTS: Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade Solo: Most Wanted Rogue One: Thrawn ANH: Lost Stars ESB: From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back ROTJ: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side! TFA: Bloodline (match) TLJ: Canto Bight TROS: Resistance Reborn

Thank you for this video! I really enjoy the way you tell about these books cause outside of republic commando books I'm really lost on what to read about Star Wars lol. Question: your book shelves look very interesting will you do a tour of your book collection someday?

My favorite movie is The Siege of Mandalore, 4 ep finale TCW. I know it isn't a "movie" but it's the best

Great Video! I would love to see this with the legends books, as I follow the EU rather than canon

Good list some good novels there, the only two novels I not biggest fan is resistance reborn and Princess and the scoundrel

Solid list here. I probably would’ve included Leia Princess of Alderaan and Lost Stars somewhere but I’m not sure where… probably as some OT books

I would say Bloodline goes with The Last Jedi more, but that's only because Rian Johnson contributed plot points for it. Kinda gives it "Extra Canon" status lol

Babe, wake up. Jonathon Koan posted

Shadow Of The Sith is probably the best Sequel era novel imo. Just a good book with great villains. Made TROS tolerable.

Phasma was actually a great book that made me love the character of phasma only for them to do nothing with her in the movies

Why just canon books? Are we gonna get a legends vid?

Really glad to see Bloodlines in there as episode 7 felt rather flat to me but this was the important Leia story that was missing from the films. Not sure any book could make episode 9 watchable though. How about books to read for the TV shows?

For New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, did you consider one of the Battle front Books?

Lost Stars!? Better than Thtawn for TESB...

Can you make one for the shows : I know you made to hype up for shows videos and I appreciate it. But can you make if you like this show read this book. I’m a fan of the mandalorian but I don’t know what book to read I cannot find any about the children pf the watch

Cool idea. Have you read Spark of the Resistance by Justina Ireland? I didn't see a review. Or is there no review because you didn't care for the book? I'm currently trying to read all sequel era books. Really liked Shadow of the Sith.
