#V-III-Shadows of the Jade Emperor

ESSENTIAL STAR WARS LEGENDS/EXPANDED UNIVERSE BOOKS. 

Many people have asked for that, so I decided to do a list with the essential novels and comics of the EU/Legends. This is my personal opinion and I have a very bad memory too so I guess, I haven’t included many others, so if you think there’s a book or any other EU content that should be on this list too, please, just let me know and I’ll put them on this list.

Obviously, I haven’t read all the books of the EU and tbh I’m not a fan of anything related to Rise of the Empire era, prequels, and The Clone Wars. All my favorite content is from Rebellion Era and post-ROTJ.

Anyway, here it’s my list of the most important novels and comics of the EU.

The EU books are divided into different eras.

Before the Republic Era - 37,000 BBY to 25,000 BBY

Old Republic Era - 5000 BBY (years before the Battle of Yavin to 1000 BBY)

Rise of the Empire Era - 1000 BBY to 22 BBY

Clone Wars Era - 22 BBY to 19 BBY

Imperial Era - 19 BBY to 0 BBY

Rebellion Era - 0 BBY to 4 ABY (4 years after the Battle of Yavin)

New Republic Era - 5.5 ABY to 22 ABY

New Jedi Order Era - 24.5 ABY to 36 ABY

Legacy Era - 40 ABY to 139 ABY

Welcome...

to Motir Ca’tra Nau Tracinya.  Those who stand before us light the night sky in flame This is a collection of fanpoety for @deadcatwithaflamethrower’s wonderful Re-Entry series.  It features one poem for every single chapter (excluding the Timeline) of Re-Entry and Journey of the Whills so far and will continue to update with new works when there are further updates to the story. Re-Entry saved my life.  It was a story of hope, second chances and of life, living and love that I desperately needed to read.  It gave me multiple new ships and was my entry point into the star wars fandom on tumblr - and brought to me many friends and helped me get back into writing and discover so many brilliant authors. So here it is, an archive, a tribute - a show of my sincere appreciation.  You may recognise some of these pieces from my own main blog (jahaliel).  Beneath the cut is the list of chapters and associated poems (plus the asides which are extras)  (You can use /chrono instead of this masterpost - all poems are tagged as “re-entry fanpoem project” so motircatranautracinya.tumblr.com/tagged/re-entry fanpoem project/chrono which will display the posts in chronological order for you. ) WARNING THIS CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR EVENTS IN THE FANFIC SO CONSIDER READING THAT FIRST!!!
