🚧 THIS LIST IS A WORK IN PROGRESS 🚧

I'm being so fr I've only read like 3 of these as of making this but we're gonna make heavy progress trust! Since I can’t change the order once the book is added, i recommend cross referencing this w/ the wookiepedia novel timeline lists. If there are any books missing from this list PLEASE Imk I will add it asap

Great work!! I'm gonna create one for just Canon novels and also one for The High Republic novels & comics. Lets see how it works out. I've been putting it off for some time because there's so many but you've inspired me!

I did create one although I'm hoping for an update where I could order the list I created. 😶 But you can start with Light of the Jedi and decide if you want to keep going. That's first one released. And there are just so many, some will overlap with others (it's structured by phases and waves within them). The first wave of phase 1 is where the era and characters are introduced in various media and "age group target" books. For ex. Light of the Jedi is the Adult novel, Into the Dark is the first Young Adult and A Test of Courage is the Middle-Grade one. They all sort of take place during the same time frame and come together in a way or another but will focus on different characters and plots, it goes from the most complex and far reaching (adult) to the more focused and smaller cast stories (MG) , and then there are the comics! "The High Republic" comic volumes continue and include some character's stories from the Adult books but also introduce new ones, "The High Republic Adventures" focuses on a different cast and sometimes bring or focuses on characters that appear in the later MG books. I did enjoy reading all of them, some more than others of course but it's such a big and ambitious cross-media project, the first of its kind I think, probably the last too lol I don't know if it worked all that well for them because it is quite overwhelming to keep up with so many books, plotlines and characters that overlap but not always, it feels a bit unfocused and convoluted overall. I went the completionist route because I didn't want to miss anything, at first I was completely obsessed, but it's a lot of time and money (if you buy) to invest on it all. I thought the scope should have been much smaller. But some of the books are really incredible IMO so I don't regret reading them! It's just that the project left me a little disappointed by the end (perhaps my expectations were too high) I know a lot of people loved it from start to finish, some prefer Phase 1 or Phase 2 (this is the middle - 200 year prior prequel - phase, there is a different cast of characters, and less waves I think) I did prefer this 2nd phase due to the smaller scope and cast. If you also think you'd prefer that kind of more character focused work I'd say you can go ahead and start with Path of Deceit (my favorite from THR!)

I remember reading Into the Dark a few years ago but I’m ngl I kind of forgot most of what happened lmao. I remember my goat Geode though!! Thanks so much for the overview!! I’m gonna do my best to go the completionist route but I’ll probably end up hopping around the timeline a bit. Also I REALLY need them to add a sorting update of the lists cause I the larger ones are gonna get real confusing real fast 😭
