    I recently discovered that you can listen to many audio books for free on Youtube. I put a lot of windshield time in on my job, so I have plenty of time to listen to them. At first, I was searching for werewolf audio books, to get ideas for my own book. however, I came across some Star Wars books, and immediately jumped in. I was born in the 70's, so I grew up around the movies.

    I started by listening to "Red Harvest", then "Dark Lord the rise of Darth Vader", then "Dawn of the Jedi; into the void", followed by "Darth Plagueis", finishing with the Darth Bane trilogy. Does anyone on here have any recommendations for the next book I should read? I'm not really interested in Legacy of the Jedi, nor any of the books between the movies. I've considered Darth Maul? Anyone read them?

    You should look into the Han Solo trilogy

    I've consider that too, but I'm all into the use of the force right now. the raw power of these people makes me feel like a child again. I will eventually read the Han Solo Trilogy, because it's Han Solo.
    thanks.

    I did not know this either. Thanks for the tip. Its 3 hours each way to my northern hunting lease so I can make the time go faster listening to a good tale.

    beware of the data plan on your devise. Streaming Youtube can be a cancer to some plans.

    A bit off topic, but if you have Netflix, Starwars:Clone Wars is an awesome series to watch. I hesitated at first to watch a animated show, but it was really good.

    yeah, it started slow but near the end it got intense, especially when Yoda had the vision of the end of the republic and Darth Vader.

    I just noticed the the newest star wars has Vader in season 2.
