Which Star Wars novel is the best for beginners?

For beginners, 'Lost Stars' is a great choice. It has a relatable story of friendship and love set against the backdrop of the Star Wars universe. The characters are well - developed and it's easy to follow. Another good one is 'A New Dawn' as it doesn't require a lot of prior knowledge of the Star Wars lore and gives a good introduction to the universe.

Another good option for beginners is 'The Force Awakens: Before the Awakening'. It gives some background to the new characters in the new Star Wars trilogy, making it easier for new fans to get into the story and the world of Star Wars.

For beginners, 'A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy' is a great start. It's based on the events of the first movie but adds more details. Another good one is 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Before the Awakening'. It gives some backstory to the new characters in that movie.

For beginners, 'Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina' could be a great start. It has short stories that are easy to follow and they all take place in that iconic location from 'A New Hope'. You get to see different characters and their little adventures in the cantina. It gives a good taste of the Star Wars universe without being too overwhelming.

I'd say 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Rey's Story'. It's a great starting point as it focuses on Rey's early adventures and her discovery of the Force. It's simple enough for beginners to understand.

Another great one is 'The Thrawn Trilogy' which starts with 'Heir to the Empire'. It was one of the first and most important series of novels in the Star Wars expanded universe, bringing back the classic characters and introducing new and exciting storylines.

Canon novels are better for beginners. Since they are part of the official and current Star Wars story, they are easier to follow and connect with the new movies and shows. For example, if you watch the latest Star Wars series and then pick up a canon novel, you'll likely find that it continues the story or fills in gaps in a way that makes sense.

In my opinion, 'Thrawn' by Timothy Zahn is one of the best. Thrawn is such an interesting character. His strategic mind and his ability to outwit his enemies are fascinating. The novel does a great job of exploring his character further and his place in the Star Wars universe.

Sure. 'The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku' is a great beginner - friendly short story. It has the classic elements of adventure and treasure hunting in the Star Wars setting. Also, 'Kenobi's Shadow' can be good for those starting out. It gives more information about Obi - Wan Kenobi without being overly complex. And 'The Last Flight of the Harbinger' can also introduce new fans to the high - stakes battles in the Star Wars universe.

Sure. 'The Force Awakens: Before the Awakening' is a great start. It gives some background on the new characters introduced in the movie. Another good one is 'The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark' which has a collection of stories that are easy to follow.
