Star Wars Novels

Star Wars novels. This is the mega-list of Star Wars novels in chronological order within the Star Wars Universe. I still consider these to be canon and consider all Disney Star Wars to be bad fanfic.

My personal focus on these books was everything from Star Wars - later called A New Hope - forward.

VOLUME 3 OF THE JEDI ACADEMY TRILOGY

STAR WARS

As the New Rebellion continues its struggle for survival, a scattered but powerful remnant of the shattered Empire seeks to destroy three precious children - among them Han and Leia's Jedi twins - who represent the next generation of Jedi Knights, in this third and final novel of the Jedi Academy Trilogy...

CHAMPIONS OF THE FORCE

Suspended helplessly between life and death, Luke Skywalker lies in state at the Jedi academy. But on the spirit plane, Luke fights desperately for survival, reaching out psychically to the Jedi twins. At the same time, Leia is on a life-and-death mission of her own, a race against Imperial agents hoping to destroy a third Jedi child - Leia and Han's baby Anakin - hidden on the planet Anoth. Meanwhile, Luke's former protegé Kyp Durron has pirated the deadly Sun Crusher on an apocalyptic mission of mass destruction, convinced he is fighting for a just cause. Hunting down the rogue warrior, Han must persuade Kyp to renounce his dark crusade and regain his lost honor. To do it, Kyp must take the Sun Crusher on a suicide mission against the awesome Death Star prototype - a battle Han knows they may be unable to win... even with Luke Skywalker at their side!

This book was loaned to me by a co-worker, Lynn. I read this book in the hospital in June 2005 after my son was moved to the Pediatric floor. I had just finished reading the second volume in the Jedi Academy series Dark Apprentice.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
