A ton of Star Wars books are currently buy one, get one half off at Amazon. Similar to last week’s sale, only certain books qualify, but the Star Wars selection has something for everyone. Notable inclusions are Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn books and Claudia Gray’s High Republic stories, and there’s even a Star Wars sticker book and a manga coloring book! Some books are available in both paperback and hardcover. Keep in mind if you’re looking for full Thrawn or High Republic sets, only a handful of titles in these series are on sale, so you may have to fill in the gaps at full price.
For more Star Wars books, you can now preorder Kwame Mbalia’s Star Wars: The Last Order, the first story in a post-Rise of Skywalker universe, releasing this October.
Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Novels
Grand Admiral Thrawn is a Chiss-born Imperial military leader. He’s gone on to make appearances in shows like Star Wars: Rebels and Ahsoka, and has quickly become some fans’ favorite villains (he’s one of mine, personally). Timothy Zahn, Thrawn’s creator, has written the character since the original Star Wars Legends trilogy starting with Heir to the Empire, and in the Disney era have penned two more Thrawn-focused trilogies: Thrawn, Thrawn: Alliances, and Thrawn: Treason, as well as the most recent Thrawn: Ascendancy books.
The High Republic Era
The High Republic is a massive multimedia push for new Star Wars stories spanning novels, comics, and more. As a sort of prequel to the Skywalker Saga (starting with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace), the High Republic spans centuries, taking place up to 1,000 years prior to the films. The Disney+ series Star Wars: The Acolyte from 2024 explores the end of this era, giving fans a tease of a famous Sith lord only mentioned in Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. The books available as part of this sale are only a small chunk of what the initiative has to offer.
Star Wars Legends
Some of the original Star Wars Legends novels from the 90’s are included, as well as adaptations of Star Video games. Darth Bane: The Rule of Two is a significant milestone in Sith lore, as Darth Bane was the one to establish that only two Sith can exist at one time: a master and an apprentice. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II’s novelization is a good retelling of the story from the game.
