I just finished I, Jedi for the first time yesterday and it's opened a whole new frontier for me. I really haven't read many SW books at all, except for the ones about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan pre-EpI, and The Krytos Trap before I was old enough to understand what it was. Yay for more SW reading coming up in my future! :D

I'm afraid to read NJO for fear that it will forever ruin Star Wars for me. The X-Wing books are awesome as long as you have a good imagination. :)

NJO sucked, except for the saving fact that Luke actually fought... AND WON, without outside help. :P

Best book is tie between I, Jedi and Star by Star.

Of them all, my favorite is I, Jedi. My favorite of the NJO is either Traitor or Rebel Dream/Rebel Stand, depending on my mood, although the NJO as a whole was just disappointing.

I hated the Crystal Star... it has nearly no action. Really.



The Thrawn Trilogy, the Hand of Thrawn duology, and NJO = awesome.

I,Jedi is a good one, written in first person perspective by corran horn, set at exactly the same time as the jedi academy trilogy.

Children of the jedi
Darksaber
Planet of twilight
The crystal star
The new rebellion
Specter of the past
Vision of the future

Theres a few others in between here and there as well, like showdown at centerpoint etc.

I'm currently reading through the NJO series again, it just rocks so much.

My book count: 50

Are there any books between the Jedi Academy series and the young jedi Knights series. In the academy series jacen and jaina were almost 3, in the YJK series, they are in their teens. Books to fill the gap anyone?

For the Young Jedi Knight Series look here http://www.booksnbytes.com/series/series_id_193.html I'm pretty sure this is the whole listing.
