List of Star Wars books

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of Star Wars novels, novellas and short stories. Beginning with the 1999 release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Lucasfilm has divided its titles by era with symbols designating such. This list does not include journals, graphic novels or comic books, which can be found in the list of Star Wars comic books.

This list is split into two categories:

Canon

The new primary Star Wars canon includes all the movie episodes, the television shows Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, books, comics, and video games published after April 2014. These stories are coordinated by the Lucasfilm Story Team to be consistent with both each other and the upcoming films.

Legends

These books are part of the original Star Wars expanded universe, and vary in levels of canonicity. The new films will not be based on these stories, but some parts may still be incorporated into the films.

Notes
  • (E) stands for an e-book novella, which is found only online or combined with other books.
  • (A) means that the novel is also available as an audiobook, which is found also online or combined with other books i.e. audible.com
  • (Y) stands for young reader books, which are usually shorter than normal Star Wars books.
  • (BBY) and (ABY) stand for Before and After the Battle of Yavin, which occurs at the end of the original 1977 Star Wars.
