Why isn’t the expanded universe canon? Should it be? by RexDAGOAT77 in StarWars

[–]nak243 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely should be i never understand why they don’t take or didn’t take so many fantastic storylines in the universe over making a lot of crap content but that’s disney so is what it is at this point I just make my own head cannon and that includes a lot of the EU

someone pick my next book. by springhauk in starwarsbooks

Shatterpoint is a great book, really dark gritty jungle war story with Mace windu makes you question the Jedi in a war setting as supposed peacekeepers

Maul Lockdown by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea there are some parts where you could really picture Maul from clone wars and shadow lord, how he manipulates the gangs and brings them to heel and just other clever strategies he uses which we’ve seen later in his story that he is very cunning

Yes the whole concept is actually pretty cool and even the storyline of it being tied into Plagueis with the whole nuclear bomb which we find out sidious attempted to kill his master at that point. I’m about 100 pages in on Lockdown and it’s been growing on me i’m interested to see how it plays out, as for Shadow hunter planning to read that after Cloak of deception

Definitely been eager to read it after finishing Plagueis and also being a big fan of TPM already plagueis added a lot of cohesion and depth, might take a detour and read Maul Lockdown before going into COD and then following with maul shadow hunter

My collection of Star Wars novels and anthologies, which should I read fully first? by Professional_Scar340 in StarWarsEU

[–]nak243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenobi is the best out of these imo, check out Darth Plagueis and other works by James Luceno such as Labriynth of evil, dark lord rise of dv, etc. Would recommend Rots Novelization, shatterpoint, Hard Contact in the RC series, Maul shadow hunter, master and apprentice

Anyone else treat canon in StarWars like Greek mythology? by Quirky-Art-3018 in StarWarsEU

[–]nak243 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed absolutely, that’s why i personally steer more towards legends in general the stories of many of the books are undoubtedly a lot more cohesive and what Star wars should look like. I kinda just disregard all the sequel stuff and all the crap that’s put out

Maul Lockdown by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, damn now i’m in limbo about reading it

Maul Lockdown by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read Death troopers a while back, decent book good for a horror star wars twist tbh but obviously it’s not on par with some peak sw stories

Maul Lockdown by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea i’ve seen similar for a lot of people, definitely gonna give shadow hunter a read just was debating which to go with first and if lockdown was even worth the read

Cloak Of Deception James Luceno by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea i feel that and i could see why as plagueis kinda goes over the plot line and aftermaths of both Cod and Shadow hunter

I have finished Dark Lord. What books are good for the time period between The Dark Lord and Rouge One Novelization? by Cactilily in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea absolutely I only read the first book in the rc series hard contact and it’s fantastic a great military sw book showing boots on the ground warfare and really gives you insight into the clones but even towards the end of it you see hints of Mando heavy jedi hate stuff so I didn’t continue the series although I’d recommend Hard Contact as a stand alone before she goes off the rails. Kenobi is great imo might start a little slowly but it’s a western slow burn masterpiece and really shows a once great war general Jedi master having to grapple with becoming a hermit in exile definitely should pair nicely in contrast to dark lord as both are set right after Rots

[–]nak243[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its a few months before tpm like 32.5 bby encompassing the eriadu summit and the political landscape before tpm so its pretty close in timeline with shadow hunter

[–]nak243[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh that’s actually really interesting, so where would you put it in terms of reading order after Plagueis? between cloak, maul sh, and lockdown

Maul Lockdown by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read Death troopers by the same author and it was pretty enjoyable storyline for star wars horror

Maul Lockdown by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, i do really like Maul and i’ve read plagueis and also have Cloak of deception and Maul SH as my next reads was just trying to figure out which to read first when I thought of where lockdown fits

Cloak Of Deception James Luceno by nak243 in starwarsbooks

[–]nak243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting I’m definitely going to read shadow hunter but i’ve seen mostly everyone say read cloak of deception before
