While there have been several books published in the Star Wars Universe (Alan Dean Foster's "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" comes to mind), Bantam Spectra is publishing a series of books that chronicle the history of the Star Wars galaxy in the years following the famous movie trilogy. Below is a timeline of the books, with times listed in years after the end of Return of the Jedi. Author names are in hypertext for books that I have read and reviewed. I hope to keep up with the publishing of new series as they come out in paperback. It kinda depends upon how fast they put everything out.
