Star Wars

Here is a chronological list of Star Wars books and some links to some other Star Wars related pages. If you find any inaccuracies on this page - please send me the corrections. The books listed in red are the ones I don't have. I have not included the comic books or children's books. I have, however, included "Dark Empire" simply because it is vital to the story line in some of the later novels.
 
This page lists the originial (main) Star Wars books with the exception of the books for the new movies. The new content does conflict with the original material but it is listed here for reference anyway.

When I first made this page, chronologies were not available. Now they are listed in the front of most of the books. After I made this page, the Star Wars books exploded in volume. I am afraid if I try and keep this current, I' ll leave out a book here and there. So please accept this page as a beginners reference.

See the patches for Rogue and Wraith Squadrons that have been designed.
