That is very cool, Cassette. So i'll have to go get that one. Caravaggio, there are dozens of novels in the E.U. If you pick up one of the newer novels they usually have a time-line printed in the front or back that shows a listing of all of them in chronological order (up to the printing of the one you're looking at) of what time period it takes place. They aren't published chronologically tho, so just because it is the latest book released, doesn't mean it will fall in line with the one that came out just before it. a lot of the story of the clone wars is written in novels. Splinter of the Minds Eye, I believe, takes place between ep4 and ep5, and it was the first s.w. book written outside of the films - back in the late 70s. There are series that deal with the Rogue Squadron, that are primarily about the pilots, not the main s.w. characters. Then there's Shadows of the Empire, which takes place between Ep5 and Ep6. The Jedi Academy Trilogy was good, and you get some good info about the ancient histories in that, like Exar Kun, etc. Just look in the inside covers of some of the New Jedi Order series to find a timeline, and pick a few titles to start with. Or, as I stated in a previous post, you can look for a book called the essential chronology, that summarizes a lot of the back story, prior to the release of ep1 - info that's been "discovered" durring ep2 and ep3 is not included, unless there's been an updated version released.
