Reading the Star Wars Canon Universe

[@micheller1108]

Omg!! Best video ever!! May the 4th be with you and have a good day

[@Tborisenko]

This was a fantastic video, I love how intense a person you are when it comes to starwars.

[@bookishbree]

Awesome!! I've been wanting to get into the new Star Wars Canon but wasn't sure where to start and this is fantastic!! Thank you! I only read a few of the Legends series but if you really love Thrawn, I can say that the Thrawn series Timothy Zahn wrote for Legends are absolutely incredible and you should definitely check them out some day!! Happy reading

[@melissaferry5681]

I love this video so much. And the google docs are awesome, thank you so much for sharing them!

[@officialxraineedayze]

We stan an organized queen! 😍 Seriously awesome! Can't wait to jump into the universe again!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yay!

[@Shadowhuntedwizards]

Wow, Awesome job! You really covered a lot! I have read a few of these books ( My favorite so far is Lost Stars) and I really loved them. I’m working my way through clone wars now and I’m trying to read at least one Star Wars book per month. I find I prefer the audiobooks because the sound effects they use really help to set the mood for the story.

[@MerrilyKristin]

I'm hoping to read Lost Stars this month! The only audiobook I tried was Ahsoka (which I also half read physically) but I'm so excited to listen to the new Dooku story!

[@Kafia_]

Thank you.

[@midnightrose6868]

Thanks so much for this video Kristen! I’ve been wanting to get into the Star Wars universe but was unsure where to start! 😊

[@BeautifullyBookishBethany]

This is so intense! I feel like it is a lot to tackle but I am interested in reading some of these.

[@aneweliseonlife]

I loved this! Thank you~ and May the 4th be with youuuu

This is so helpful, oh my gosh. I’ve only read one Star Wars novel, but I REALLY want to read the Black Spire stuff that comes out later this year because we’re going to Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World in January, and I want to know the story of the land! And we’re also very excited about the shows coming to Disney+!

[@swedish_malin]

Amazing video, thank you so much! I already own Bloodline and was planning to read it this month, but now I'm gonna get Princess of Alderaan to read first, just for some chronological Leia content. Then I'll probably jump a bit back and forth but mostly follow the order you showed the books in. ;) Thanks again!

[@Unphilosophize]

This was so informative! Thank you for sharing your adventures in the Star Wars universe 🤗

[@regitzexenia]

I loved this video! Kinda intimidated by the wealth of material, so your guide is really helpful 🤓

[@alexalovesbooks]

Yay, yay, yay! I mean, honestly, if and when I go back to reading Star Wars books, I’m definitely using this video as my reference 😉

[@lv23074]

I've always wanted to read the Star Wars books. I'm a huge fan of the movies, but the books always intimidated me because there are so many of them and I'm really big on reading things in chronological order. But I guess that I'm just going to have to let that go and just start reading. Thanks for the incredibly detailed video! I just purchased the e-books of Master & Apprentice and Queen's Shadow. I'm so excited to finally start reading some SW books. 😊

[@MerrilyKristin]

I feel you! I'm the same about reading canonically, but it's just impossible in this universe lol!

[@DarkMistyDay]

My favorite Star Wars book ever was The Crystal Star. I really liked the Young Jedi Knights series, too

[@damassss]

Yeay for Star Wars canon! I’m also currently still trying to consume everything in the canon before Rise of Skywalker came out but there’s just a lot of them. I’m planning to read the middle grades as well, but I’m following publication order instead of chronological order because it’s easier.

[@MerrilyKristin]

Publication order is a good way to go! I had begun with reading canon and now I'm just kinda picking up whatever I'm in the mood for!

[@irenamcg]

Thank you so much for the video and doc. It will be very helpful. I'm just starting with the books and it's so overwhelming at first. ♥

[@MerrilyKristin]

You're very welcome!

[@Paul_the_Bookworm]

My favourite books and also Sith Lord is the Darth Bane trilogy. Not considered "Canon" anymore but that doesn't bother me in the slightest. I just look at the now "Canon" stories as an alternate timeline.

[@unviewsyourmonster8113]

I love this video Ive read some star wars books but I always want to read more so this video is super helpful! But in my opinion the Clone Wars is way better than Rebels, I don’t know why I think it’s because I grew up with the Clone Wars, Its probably my favourite Star Wars property and I think when you make near perfection its really hard to top it. I watched some of the first season but it just didn’t hit the same ( maybe because I have to wait for Ashoka and Im impatient and need my girl) Anyway just my opinion, thanks for the great video, your shelves are beautiful! x

[@diaryofafangirl7]

Can you do a video like this for anime and how you read them? I find them so confusing.

[@miguele.jijonhanze490]

Really goog video, thanks, I'm starting with my SW Novel Collection for SW Canon, I just read Ahsoka, Dark Disciple and Thrawn, what 3 books would you recommend to read next?

[@witchf4ce310]

I grew up with Star Wars and absolutely love everything about it but I didn’t get really into reading books until last year so I’ve been wanting to read good Star Wars books but I’ve been struggling so this is really helpful! I would love to use your list if you eventually want to share it, it would be a huge help!! I’m not a huge fan of animated series so that doesn’t interest me as much but I’m open to read books about some of those characters anyway (specifically Ahsoka)😊

[@MerrilyKristin]

I did share my list! It's linked in the description :-)

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooof, I’ve seen like one movie

[@dj.m682]

I love Star Wars books, I find it hard to focus on reading books and unfortunately become disinterested. Star Wars books have made reading interesting for me and they help me focus.

[@georgiefarr1094]

I really want to get into Star Wars, reading the books and watching the films (I only watched two - The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi). Will you be doing the Avengers recommendations books and films? The last film came out last week and my sister went to see the midnight screening and I want to watch all of the Avengers films from the beginning xxx

[@MerrilyKristin]

I hadn't been planning any Avengers videos!

[@foodhi2880]

Overall the original EU has much better books but some of the books in the new canon have been awesome as well.

[@witchf4ce310]

I’ve commented on this video before lol but I just have to ask if you know of any book that heavily features or focuses on Boba Fett? I’ve been intrigued by him since I was a kid, as we didn’t really know what exactly he’s done and experienced in his life as a huge bounty hunter. I’m struggling to find SW books that I really love, and that are more than just fun 4-star reads :/

[@MerrilyKristin]

I know there are a TON of books about him that are part of the Legendary universe, but so far, nothing new has been published in the current canon. There's a tv show called The Madalorian coming out on Disney+ so I would've be surprised if we start getting more Boba Fett stories next year!

[@witchf4ce310]

Super Space Chick thank you! Have you read Lost Stars by Claudia Gray? It sounds so good and has so many raving reviews!

[@DreamstudioXD]

Uff that's a LOT! but kainda easier to get into now. I already have the Leia one, i dint read it tho, cause i got hung up on the idea of her calling her dad father rather than daddy, idk i was like this is not how i picture her lmaoooo.

[@mariichyuu]

Hopefully they make a "The Mandalorian" book series. It's so gooooood so far. 😭😭😭

[@crazybooklady2104]

Very cool Although I didn't see the book dark lord: the rise of Darth Vader by james luceno on your timeline. It comes in right after revenge of the sith.

[@JennFaeAge]

I feel like a bad Star Wars nerd. Not for the nonsensical (liking the Disney films) reasons some think, but because I don't have a list like this of my own XD

[@jffilms1442]

lost me at rebels is better then clone wars
