Best Canon Star Wars Adult Novels to Start With
Thrawn is easily one of the most popular characters in all of the Star Wars extended universe, and though his Legends books are beloved as well, the self-titled novel marks his introduction to Canon. Set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, the brilliant read offers a look at the inner workings of the Galactic Empire.
Thrawn, which is the first of a trilogy and eventually followed by another book trilogy, is also perhaps good homework for the next phase of Star Wars TV and film watching, as he's set to be a major character in the Ahsoka series and possibly even Dave Filoni's film.
