I apologize for the unrelated question in advance. I'm currently watching the Clone Wars animated show and thoroughly enjoying it so far, and some of my favorite episodes (again, so far) have been the ones with General Grievous. So my question is, other than the prequels novelizations would you recommend any other book (or books) featuring him? I don't mind reading legends/EU. I just found your channel and I think you make great content. Keep up the good work. Cheers
I haven't read too many novels featuring Greivous, as they mostly kept him for the show. However, I will say that he makes an appearance in Labyrinth of Evil, but I haven't read many others that feature him. I think the best Clone Wars era book is Dark Disciple, which features Asaaj Ventress and Quinlan Vos, and Grevious has a small role in that book, though not a POV.
Great choices!! I’ve been talking all about Boba Fett & reference books quite often, the first 2 choices in particular. Would love for you to check out the channel!
Whoa! Yes, controversial, but Boba Fett as a character never impressed me. Most of the love for Boba stems from the notion that he looked cool. The notion that the "most feared" bounty hunter had to call for Vader to actually do the capturing and then is defeated by a blind guy and a giant stomach is laughable. Did Jango's AOTC story help improve Boba? No! We find out that he's an unaltered clone of a hunter who has to outsource his work to a third party. What exactly is the draw? Oh yeah, he looks cool. The Mandalorian gave us a Boba Fett that finally lived up to his 40 year hype.
Does the name Jaster Mareel ever come up in these books? Remember a short story in SW tales of the bounty hunters where they describe his origin as a journeyman protector of Concord Dawn. Is any of that in these books?
@@jonathankoan they probably retconned the story. The short stories originally came from a magazine called star wars journal then later collected into like 5 star wars books tales of the empire, tales from Jabbas palace, tales from Mos Eisley cantina, tales from the new republic, and tales of the bounty hunters.
@@animalmother8037they retconned the name to be a code name used by boba that he took from his adoptive grandfather, the person that raised and trained jango
Hm, that’s an interesting one. I enjoy somewhere around 97% of the Star Wars novels I’ve read, which means they have an excellent track record. I’d say that for recent releases it’s probably “Visions: Ronin”, which I had a tough time understanding due to the sentence structure of the writing style, and for an older book probably the Lando Calrissian Trilogy from the 80s, which I thought were weird and didn’t fit with the rest of Star Wars for me. I’ve avoided some of the notoriously bad books from the Bantam books publishing era thus far, mostly because I haven’t read everything yet, but I only have about 20ish EU books left to read, so I’m almost there.
I was really excited for this show. The show confuses me, as it seems to have a fair amount of thought put into it, with stuff like Black Krrsantan, and tie ins to legends like with the droids in finale. But then it just kinda fell on its face
The young boba fett books and tales from the bounty hunters. also tales from jabbas palace (specifically bobas tale)

there is a legends comic that explanes the backstory of general Gevious it is called The Eyes of Revolution in Star Wars: Visionaries.

I do not remember him being in these books, but that might be my memory. 😂

@@fineadditions Disney or EU retcon?
I really like the bounty hunter trilogy, but i dont like how its split up. Makes it weird to place timeline wise on ur shelf
Right? Books with two timelines are not my favorites in Star Wars. One reason that throwing alliances also didn’t work as well.

I think Bounty hunter war is better then the original thrawn trilogy actually
But it's called the Book of Boba Fett. That's nice Boba let's get you to your bacta tank
