The 10 Best Star Wars Stories Set In The Original Trilogy Era

The original Star Wars trilogy is still considered the franchise's magnum opus after 40 years, but it has also spawned countless stories set during the same era. Before the first film hit theaters in 1977, Star Wars had received a novelization and a comic adaptation, offering dedicated sci-fi readers a preview of what would become one of the all-time greatest movies. Star Wars books and comics continued to expand the original trilogy era during the wait between films, with more stories added over time to create a vast catalog. The franchise now encompasses thousands of canon, Legends, and non-canon tales across Star Wars movies, TV shows, video games, and literature.
