Star Wars Books

I've heard that prior to the SW movies there were already some SW books.

Furthermore, there would be more than six books.

My question is: can anybody tell me who wrote them? If I were to read them, what should I search for?


Use the Wikipedia, Luke

... it has very extensive information on all that stuff. A good start is Expanded Universe (Star Wars)

Definitely get Timothy Zahn’s first trilogy, Heir to the Empire, it’s pure and unadulterated brilliance. The second one is just more of the same; just as well-written, but just a rehash. There are also heaps of other good books, but none of them are masterpieces quite like that first trilogy.

All of them are at least 10× better than the merchantable bile that is Lucas’s prequels.
