Which star wars book should i start with first?
I was wondering which star wars book to read first. And im not referring to the timeline of episodes 1 through 6. im referring to the thousands of years before those events took place. im talking old republic timeline. any input would be much appreciated. could you maybe also possibly suggest some books to read after that.
Every SW book or comic has its own place in the SINGLE time line of the SW story. There are many alternate universe and/or “Infinities” titles out there but they are easy to spot and can obviously been seen as “what if this happened instead of what really happened.”
The time line of SW stretches back more than 5,000 years before the events of ep I and about 150 years after the events of ep VI … BUT … the era you are talking about has only a very few books in it as of yet. Most of this part of the time line is told in Dark Horse Comic stories. Dark Horse does an extremely good job with their SW titles. As for books in that era the only ones that I can think of off hand are the Darth Bane trilogy of books. The titles are “Path of Destruction”, “Rule of Two”, “Dynasty of Evil”. The third book just came out in the past week or so. These books are set about 1020 years before the events of the movies. I haven’t read the newest one but the first two were very good.
That’s about it for books in the era you are talking about … the rest of it is told in Dark Horse comics. I don’t think there will be many others written that cover this era but you never know with Lucas. Some books are planned that are set about 100 years before the events of the movies but that’s about it for that era.
In Star Wars Episode 3, what scenes do you think are the best to define Special FX?Well, on the DVD there is a documentary on all that was needed to make the short sequence of Anakin and Obi Wan exterior battle on Mustafar. I’m sure checking that out would go a long way for you, as it is a very complex scene.
After that, I would say Yoda v. Sidious, seeing as Yoda is a CGI character, and all he has going on with him in that. Likewise with Obi Wan v. Grievous. For what it’s worth Mace Windu v. Sidious and I believe Anakin v. Dooku both had the elder character’s face CG’ed over a stunt double.
After that…. take your pick at any of the background shots, since it’s pretty much all green screen.
