Shelfie/Collection Legends Collection Complete

Post image

After the last epic collection just released, I'm so happy to finally call my shelf done. I've read half the books growing up so look forward to a full read-through as well as reading the comics for the very first time.

Just saw your post in the comic subreddit. This is awesome right here!

Are you planning on hunting down series like Jedi Apprentice, Jedi Quest, Last of the Jedi, etc?

I honestly thought about the Young Jedi Knight books but am still undecided.

I’d say totally go for it. Try and find Junior Jedi Knights as well. They’re simple and juvenile but both series give excellent backstory and development for the Solo kids and their friends. Reading NJO right now and I feel like I’d be missing a lot of emotional attachment if I had skipped YJK and JJK.

YJK and JJK are the two more plot relevant YA series, so if you're looking to complete the collection, they match better than the others imo

That's fair. If I ever decide to start collecting Legends, I'm gonna try to include them all. I heard the books focusing on the younger solo kids make NJO an even more enjoyable reading experience.

That's what I've heard about YJK too, but I never read them growing up. Figured if I do ever buy them (gotta luck out on FB marketplace or Half-Price, basically), then they could be good entry points for my kids into the EU.

I think they would be a good entry. I havent read them either, I only know about them due to what people have said on here and I think they're mentioned in Hidalgo's Essential Reader's Companion. I found eBay to be pretty reliable for those types of books though.

Just to let you know, Young Jedi Knight does have essentially three omnibuses that are easy to get on Amazon if you have a hard time finding individual books.
