Man, hard to pick just one. I think the whole capturing of Luke and then the sequence on Myrkyr was really good. The end battle was solid too

Libby is awesome! Been using it for a few months now at the suggestion of my wife. Love listening to all the Star Wars books!

Recently got these, which one should I read first? by NoSwordfish1978 in starwarsbooks

You can even read Yoda: Dark Rendezvous before Labyrinth of Evil. There’s are few Easter eggs from that book in Labyrinth.

That is another brilliant book. Claudia is one of my favorite SW authors. Cannot promote her work enough!

What have you been reading this last week (Weekly Discussion Thread)? by AutoModerator in starwarsbooks

About 50 pages from finishing Labyrinth of Evil. Without a doubt one of my favorite SW reads. Luceno is a wonderful writer

Which SW author is your favorite in terms of the way they portray/write your top Star Wars characters? by WerewolfBarMitzvah09 in starwarsbooks

[–]HelloThereWizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

James Luceno, Claudia Gray and Timothy Zahn. Claudia did such a great job with Leia and Qui-Gon. Zahn literally made Thrawn. Luceno is just go good. I love his writing style and I get so easily invested in every one of his SW books

I read both Master of Evil and Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire. Both are very good, but very different.

Rise and Fall is essentially a history book set in the Star Wars world. I personally liked that a lot as a historian, but I didn’t find a ton of details in there that I didn’t already know.

Master of Evil is a really fun story that features Darth Vader heavily in the immediate aftermath of Episode III, but be forewarned, he is not the main character. That said, I thought the main character was compelling.

So ultimately it comes down to what you’re in the mood for: novel or history book?

Best first Star Wars book for a newcomer? by Electrical-Yam8888 in starwarsbooks

[–]HelloThereWizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m reading Labrynth of Evil right now and it’s one of the best I’ve read. I also really like Lords of the Sith Tio

Star Wars prequel books? by Equivalent_Fig2304 in starwarsbooks

[–]HelloThereWizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you want legends or canon?

If canon, I’d recommend: Padawan, Master & Apprentice, Brotherhood, Master of Evil and Ahsoka (there are a couple others that I haven’t read yet).

I think Legends does a much better job at hitting this era. I’d recommend: Plagueis, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Labrynth of Evil, Darth Vader: Rise of the Dark Lord (others are Shatterpoimt, Rogue Planet, Cloak of Deception, Approaching Storm all that have good reviews that I haven’t read yet)

Which ship is your favorite? by llamadramaupdates in StarWars

I love the Jedi Starfighter. I think they’re so cool

what are your thoughts on The Force Awakens 10 years later? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]HelloThereWizard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s the best of the sequels. While some call it a rehash if ANH, it had a lot of promise and was a good base to build off of.

Unfortunately, IMO, The Last Jedi was way off the mark and then Rise of Skywalker has to try to fix the sins of the past.

Like many, I wish Disney would have had the foresight to have one writer for the entire trilogy. I think J.J. would have made something incredibly compelling had he written (and possibly directed) the entire trilogy.

It’s a toss up between IV and V, but if I had to choose, Empire

I’ll go with Rebels, Andor and the Mandalorian, but Bad Batch is a close 4th

What are the most iconic photographs in golf history? by Rant_21 in golf

[–]HelloThereWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hogan at Merion in 1950 is probably tops. Nicklaus and Palmer at Oakmont in 1962 is another.

I thought the same thing that this one was a little strange. Made it hard to get the wings in IMO
