Old School Star Wars: A Book List and Reading Order for the Star Wars Legends Books

I’ve read some of today’s Star Wars novels and I enjoy many of them. But they aren’t really my stories. They aren’t my era or my characters.

So, I’ve decided I’d just re-read the old school Star Wars books again because I love those. This article is nothing more than a simple list of all of those Star Wars novels from back in the day that have been given the “Legends” moniker because Disney removed them from canon. I suspect there are many Star Wars fans like me, so consider this article a public service.

And they aren’t necessarily in order of date published, they are in chronological order of when the stories take place. It’s a simple book list and reading order for Star Wars Legends books. One more note: this list doesn’t include novellas or the young reader books because I had to draw the line somewhere.

I can’t be bothered to do an exact count but this has to be 100+ Star Wars Legends novels. Sure, they aren’t hot off the press anymore, but they follow the OG storylines and characters which hits the sweet spot for a large swath of Star Wars fans.

The New Republic Era is the place to start for many and that would be my recommendation as well. Happy reading and…may the Force be with you.
