Qui-Gon Jinn Archives - Star Wars Shorts

If you’re a Star Wars fan looking to dive deeper into the universe, reading Star Wars books is a great way to do so. However, with so many books out there, it can be difficult to know which ones are considered canon. In this article, we will provide a list of Star Wars books that follow canon.

Before we begin, it’s important to note that in 2014, Disney announced that the Star Wars expanded universe, which included many books, comics, and games, was no longer considered canon. Instead, a new canon was established, which includes the movies, TV shows, and select books and comics that fit into the new continuity. The books listed below are all part of this new canon.<h2>Star Wars: The High Republic</h2> The High Republic is a new publishing initiative set 200 years before the events of the prequel trilogy. The initiative includes novels, comics, and children’s books, and explores the Jedi Order and the Republic during a time of peace and prosperity. The novels in the initiative are as follows:

Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule
The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott
Into the Dark by Claudia Gray
The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray
Out of the Shadows by Justina Ireland
Mission to Disaster by Justina Ireland (children’s book)
Race to Crashpoint Tower by Daniel José Older (children’s book)

<h2>Thrawn Trilogy</h2> The Thrawn Trilogy, written by Timothy Zahn, takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi and follows Grand Admiral Thrawn, a strategic genius who serves as the main antagonist. The trilogy consists of:

Thrawn
Thrawn: Alliances
Thrawn: Treason

<h2>Aftermath Trilogy</h2> The Aftermath Trilogy, written by Chuck Wendig, takes place in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor and the fall of the Empire. The trilogy consists of:

Aftermath
Aftermath: Life Debt
Aftermath: Empire’s End

<h2>Other Canon Novels</h2> In addition to the above trilogies, there are many other Star Wars novels that follow canon. Here are some notable examples:

Master & Apprentice by Claudia Gray, which follows Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi before the events of The Phantom Menace [1]
Dark Disciple by Christie Golden, which follows the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress after the events of The Clone Wars [3]
Bloodline by Claudia Gray, which follows Leia Organa six years before the events of The Force Awakens [2]
Lost Stars by Claudia Gray, which follows two childhood friends who find themselves on opposite sides of the Galactic Civil War [2]
Alphabet Squadron Trilogy by Alexander Freed, which follows a group of pilots hunting down a rogue Imperial faction after the fall of the Empire [2]

This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the Star Wars books that follow canon, but it should give you a good starting point. Happy reading!

Qui-Gon Jinn was once a young Padawan, learning the ways of the Force under the tutelage of his master, Jedi Master Dooku. He was a curious child, always questioning the world around him and searching for answers. It was this unquenchable thirst for knowledge that would eventually lead him down the path of the Jedi.

As a child, Qui-Gon grew up on a remote planet in the Outer Rim, where he spent much of his time exploring the vast wilderness and learning to survive on his own. He was always fascinated by the creatures that inhabited the planet, and would often spend hours studying them in their natural habitat.

One day, while out on a training mission with his master, Qui-Gon stumbled upon an ancient artifact that was said to hold great power. Master Dooku warned him not to touch it, but Qui-Gon’s curiosity got the best of him, and he reached out to touch the artifact. In that moment, he was transported to a far-off planet, where he was confronted by a group of Sith warriors.

The Sith were impressed with Qui-Gon’s power and wanted to train him in the ways of the dark side. But Qui-Gon refused, and was forced to fight for his life. He managed to escape back to his own world, but was forever changed by the experience.

From that day forward, Qui-Gon was more determined than ever to become a Jedi. He trained tirelessly, mastering the art of the lightsaber and the ways of the Force. And though he faced many challenges along the way, he never forgot the lessons he learned during his childhood adventures.

As he grew older, Qui-Gon became known as one of the greatest Jedi of his time. He took on many Padawans over the years, passing on his knowledge and wisdom to the next generation of Jedi. But he never forgot the sense of wonder and curiosity that had driven him as a child, and he continued to explore the mysteries of the Force until the very end of his days.
