 |
|
This timeframe really is where Star Wars lives and breathes for me. But it's probably been some 25 years since I last read those books and played many of the games from that time.
Anyone feeling confident enough to attempt putting together a complete list of works set in that timeframe?
Star Wars
Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina
Tales from Jabba's Palace
Dark Forces
Rogue Squadron (game)
Rogue Leader
Rebel Strike
The Empire Strikes Back
TIE Fighter
X-Wing Alliance
Shadows of the Empire
By the Emperor's Hand
Return of the Jedi
The Truce at Bakura
Jedi Knight
Rogue Squadron (book)
Wedge's Gamble
The Krytos Trap
The Bacta War
Wraith Squadron
Iron Fist
Solo Command
The Courtship of Princess Leia
Heir to the Empire
Dark Force Rising
The Last Command
Those are all that I can remember, but I'm sure there's plenty more. Especially comics, which I barely know anything about.

Since it seems the ask is only for the EU and not Disney Canon, the above link is just the list of Legends books. Of course there are also many comic books in this era that have a separate list on Wookieepedia.
The OP of this thread does miss several adult novels of the EU, such as Scoundrels, Allegiance, Choices of One (all three by Timothy Zahn), Honor Among Thieves, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, Razor's Edge, Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, and Tatooine Ghost.
*Wookieepedia has been up and down today, so if the link doesn't work, try again later.

Since there is no Heir to the Empire in Disney Star Wars, there's also no between. 
I actually havn't heard of any of those books, except Splinter of the Minds Eye. Completely forgot about that one.

Here, we are tinkerers who modify game mechanics and canons for our games. Many GMs here merge works from both canons into our game worlds. A very popular one I've seen expressed is the merging The Thrawn Trilogy with Disney films. So on the Rancor Pit, it is not so unusual to include both canons in questions. In your ask, you didn't specify canon but you did emphasize timeframe. The timeframe of 0 ABY to 9 ABY exists in both canons, but you weren't explicit about restricting it to the EU. My previous guess based on the particular list you posted was correct.
A real world timeframe differentiation that is also apparent between the books you posted and the books I named is publishing timeframe. So except for SotME, you've only heard of 90s books in this timeline range and not anything post-90s? Did they stop releasing Star Wars books in Germany after 1999 so you didn't they know kept publishing Legends books in this timeline era until 2014? If you were aware of a real life cut-off year in your own knowledge of EU books, you could have also mentioned that in the OP.
The list of Legends books in the link I shared in my above reply is a very handy tool. You can filter out certain types of content (such as youth or child content) and you can also change the book order in each era, such as making it list them by publication date instead of timeline order. It seems that this thread is just asking for information that is readily available on Wookieepedia. As the forum guideline "Do your research" states, "Wookieepedia is your friend."

I just stopped reading when most new books that came out were post Rebel-Empire stories or clone wars stories. Didn't feel much like Star Wars anymore.
