Legends in the eyes of the fans, these are the best the Star wars Universe has to offer....and they are worth ignoring the new movies over.
I've arranged the list by starting with what I consider to be the best/most important titles in the EU, to provide a suggested reading order for beginners.
I've followed this list with prequels, minor titles, and weaker entries in the EU.
I have left off some truly awful series, such as the "Black Shield Crises" Trilogy, and a few series we own no titles of, that I consider of minimal importance.

Where it all started. The Thrawn Trilogy is what really kicked off the expanded universe, and remains one of the best - if not THE best - Star Wars series ever written. This is the absolute best entry point into the EU (Expanded Universe). This series takes place in ABY 9 (After the Battle of Yavin, 9 years).

X-wings #5. With Wraith Squadron, the author on the X-Wing series switches to Aaron Allston and the books become HILARIOUS. Frankly, in re-reads I usually only read the Allston titles. ABY 7
