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 email me with 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 list is very old and I stopped updating years ago. When I first made this page, chronologies were not available. Now they are listed in the front of every book. After I made this page up, the Star Wars books exploded in volume. I am afraid if I try and keep this current, I will 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.
