I'm sooo not ready for kids...

[Luke]

why? you are called Luke not Annakin

Good point.

Actually, I'll probably take little part in the naming of my children. As long as they don't end up with a trendy name, I'm cool with it.

Yeah, I don't think Luke had a daughter, just a son named Ben.

I'm a Star Wars nut, but never got into the EU. Well, if I'm on a long road trip, I will listen to a Star Wars book on cd.

I highly suggest the Jedi Academy Trilogy and the Tales of xxx books. The Jedi Academy books were my absolute favorites out of the EU I read (which was a large chunk of the post Return of the Jedi that was out around 2000. The Tales of books, specifically the Cantina, are the best books in the EU period. The stories were solid enough that even with out the Star Wars pedigree they could stand on their own. Jabbas Palace, Cantina, and Bounty Hunters - all good.

Tales of the Empire is also fantastic. Tales of the New Republic is a mixed bunch.

My favorite selections from the EU are:

Thrawn Trilogy
X-Wing Series
I, Jedi

[fastbilly1]

Ive not read I Jedi, but I agree with Thrawn and Xwing. Ill keep an eye out for I Jedi as I thrift.

I need to ease my way into the EU.
First book suggestion?

First book suggestion?

Thrawn Trilogy. It was the first series after the big lull that came after Jedi and before the EU really surged in popularity, which was in many ways thanks to this book. The first book is Heir to the Empire, then comes Dark Force Rising and The Last Command. Also since it's the first the writing only assumes you've seen the original trilogy.
