In chronological order, is Darth Bane: Path of Destruction the first Star Wars book?
I have been issued a challenge to read every Star Wars fiction in order of when the events passed. I am looking forward to doing so and I’m asking here to confirm if there’s any books in the Star Wars saga which happened on a date prior to the events of the book I have mentioned.
As it stands right now Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, set 1020 years BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) is the first “book” of the Star Wars EU. There are, however, 4000 years of stories told by Dark Horse Comics. You’ll have to check the “rules” of the challenge made to you to see if it includes comics. Sorry to say but if it does good luck finding them. I’ve seen most of them on amazon but the price could get high pretty quick.
There are a lot of Star Wars time lines out there but most of them are so confusing that even a well versed EU Guru like myself gets lost in them. Some of the ones that are understandable can be found at del-reybooks.com, theforce.net, and of course starwars.com.
Good luck with your quest you’re in for one hell of a ride … in the best sense of the word and as always …
May The Force Be With You …
EDIT: Forgot to say that the books of the EU have taken the story about 40 years after the BBY and the comics are about 120 years BBY.
