• a concise synopsis of each story, including key characters and planets
• exclusive behind-the-scenes facts and anecdotes about authors, plot and character development, continuity notes, and significance in the Star Wars Expanded Universe

I enlisted in the Navy in early 2009, after basic training and a long stint in technical I was promptly placed on a multitude of Navy vessels, quelling civil wars, hunting pirates, providing disaster relief and all other forms of global heroism. However the day to day life on a ship varies very little, eat, sleep, work for most of the day and at the end of the day you go to your assigned rack, with nothing to do.
I bought a kindle and that thing was a godsend as I could pack literally hundreds of book in my GI bag. So I started to read the Star wars expanded universe, every night after work I would lay in my rack and read. I was pumping out three or four books a week.
Then one day in a spare moment I found this little gem on amazon, and I promptly ordered it. When it arrived I was astounded by the shear amount of books I didn't know existed! I quickly downloaded them to my kindle and read all star wars in chronological order.
Near the end of the 11 month deployment I had finished every adult Star wars novel currently published, and read the summaries of all the young adult and comic exclusive stories. I, at one point, knew everything there was to know about major plot lines in the EU thanks to this book.
Inside there is a detailed summary of each individual story, with main characters and locations, all placed in chronological order, with beautiful full color artwork and inclusions from the various authors.
This book is great if want you want is a complete understanding of the EU, worth every penny.

If I was rating this book personally, I'd give it 5 but objectively, as a rating used for recommendation, it's a four.
So firstly I'll start with why I'm giving it a four. Then I'll write why, for me, it's a 5. This book is a great resource, absolutely filled with information, the majority of it accurate. It lists full summaries of every single young adult and adult Star Wars novel in Chronological order and is very thorough. Many have criticized this book saying all this information can be found on Wookieepedia... And yet, it cannot. I can't tell you how many times I have been frustrated by not being able to find FULL story summaries for certain books but even Wookieepedia doesn't provide the detail or the fullness of summaries that this does. However, as some have said, it is summaries only and therefore isn't a very interesting or exciting read for anyone who knows their stuff.
Now for me, this was exactly what I wanted because let's face it, while I there are gems in the EU, there is a LOT of rubbish too. Unfortunately, to read some of the good ones, you need to know what happened in the bad ones. Here's what I mean:
The first EU books I read were the Thrawn Trilogy and after finishing, I really wanted to read his follow-ups The Hand of Thrawn duology. But there were so many books around and between. And Hand of Thrawn references the XWing Rogue Squadron, Jedi Academy Trilogy, Callista Books and Dark Empire comic series HEAVILY. But oh boy, those books are HORRIBLE. Rogue Squadron is trash, Jedi Academy I could only do 1.5 of the three books before I threw them out, the Dark Empire comics I didn't read and the Callista Books have such low ratings I didn't even bother. So when I read Timothy Zahns Hand of Thrawn books, many major plot elements left me feeling a little lost. I still loved them and it was easy enough to figure it out having read Rogue Squadron 1 and some of the Jedi Academy Trilogy. But I still felt I was missing out on a lot of important back-story.
That's where this book comes in. With this, you can read Thrawn Trilogy, read one page summaries of all the nonsense between, then pick up Hand of Thrawn and understand what's going on without the pain of reading all of it. This can be used really for any period in the EU to be able to read from anywhere you want and still be able to fill in the gaps.
This book is a must for someone who wants to read all the better books or simply the books that appeal to them, while still having knowledge of what happened in the rubbish ones that they may not have an interest in reading.
Word of advice though, these summaries are FULL, so if you don't want to know the endings to certain books, don't read the summaries in here.

This book was fascinating. Containing a summary of every adult novel plus juvie novels like Last of the Jedi, Jedi Apprentice and Young Jedi Knights among others, it provided a chronological place for every story. It advised readers on which books to read first when more then one occured at the same time. It also fit short story collections such as Tales of Jabba’s Palace (and similar books), as well as the short stories included in magazines into the timeline. The book also provided character insights and discussed continuity issues. A book I would highly recommend.

The Essential Reader's Companion takes readers through an in-universe chronological (as opposed to release date chronology) list of all the Star Wars novels and ebooks published at date of publication. Each book gets some general information (author, timeline placement, cast list, worlds visited, where to find it), a story summary and sometimes some behind the scenes info. Each era gets a page of character portraits and there are images of various scenes scattered throughout. On top of this, there are sidebars that highlight important comics short stories that fit into the narrative. It doesn't quite have all of the Legends universe (as it was published in 2012 and Legends mostly ended in 2014). That said, it's mostly complete. A great reference guide for those who want to read everything, those who have read everything, and those who don't have time to read everything but want a good overview of everything. A must for any Star Wars fan who wants to get the most out the novels.

An impressive piece of work that informs the reader of the timeline of various works, summarizes each of them, provides both some in-universe and real-world/behind-the-scenes history and context on the various stories. I like the spotlights on certain comic and video game stories. It is a great resource for fans who want to read more Star Wars books. I do like that it tries to piece together continuity to episodes of The Clone Wars show and the books written prior to the series set during the war. However, this would have been even better had they included the comic stories and young reader books such as the Star Wars Legacy comics and Episode I Adventures book series, and incorporating the Jedi Prince series as more than just a spotlight item. I hope to one day acquire this in paperback, instead of just having the Kindle ebook edition.

Avec les films de Star Wars qui recommence a paraître au grand écran, ça donne envie de recommencer a lire sur le sujet. Je me suis donc procurer plusieurs encyclopédies, livre de background et d'histoire (comme le cours) de Star Wars. Comme ce sont des ouvrages de références, il est difficile de dire que j'aurai lu chaque ligne et chaque page de chaque livre. Mais après l'avoir feuilleté page par page je pourrai au moins dire si l'oeuvre vaut le prix payé et si je la recommande a d'autres fans.
Donc le premier livre de référence de Star Wars que j'ai choisi de consulter page par pages c'est le guide essentiel de la lecture. Il contient tous les roman, mini-histoires et nouvelles écrite pour cet univers. Assez impressionnant on a la liste des personnages principaux, un résumé, les planètes visité qui sont lié a l'atlas Star Wars et on a même des vignettes sur les multiples bandes dessinées ou jeux vidéos qui ont influencer le myth de Star Wars.
La présentation est vaiment top notch et les résumé ne spoil pas tant l'histoire, autre que dire ce qui se passe, on ne sait pas comment sa s'est passé. Donc il est possible de lire sans trop se gâcher la lecture des romans. Un outils essentiel pour un fan qui voudrait lire a nouveau du vieux star wars et savoir quels livres cherché. Surtout qu'ils sont maintenant pas mal tous en version numérique.
Petit bonus, les résumer pourraient même donner du jus pour un Gamemaster de faire des aventure de RPG de Star Wars et utiliser les résumer comme des synopsis d'aventure. Avec la liste des personnages (qui ensuite se trouve facilement sur Wookieepedia), l'atlas et le résumé c'est un jeu d'enfant d'en faire sa propre aventure. Donc une source incroyable.
Bon maintenant la raison du 4 étoiles, qui est en fait un 4.5 étoiles (goodreads devraient permettre de coté a demi). C'est que toute une saga entière de star wars a été carrément oublier ou laisser de côté de manière volontaire. Je parle ici de Star Wars: Legacy qui se passe 130 ans après la battaille de Yavin. Je demande pas un chapitre complet, mais au moins une vignette qui résume et dit qu'elles personnages il y a dedans. L'auteur parle de Darth Krayth qui est le Sith de cette série mais il ne nous dit pas a qu'elle histoire même dans quelle saga il va fitter. C'est vraiment la seul saga et peut-etre celle de Kaan qui n'ont pas été traité dans le livre. Shit 2 page de vignette de plus aurait pas fait planté la presse. L'auteur est capable de faire sortir toutes les histoire même a 500 mots, mais pas capable de sortir 2 des plus gros comics du lots. Ça m'a un peu déçu.
Sinon, un autre point que j'aurais aimé, mais je comprend pourquoi ce n'est pas là, c'est une cote sur 5 sur comment le livre est fidèle à l'univers ou du moins la récception générale du roman. Mais comme je dis je comprend pourquoi ce n'est pas là, j'ai juste a chercher chaque livre individuellement sur Goodreads.
Donc, maintenant que presque tous ces romans son rendu inexistant a cause du nouveau film, c'est vraiment le temps idéal de se procurer ce livre. Si un jour ils font une autre édition de ce livre, je crois qu'il se concentrera seulement sur le canon de Star Wars, donc ne contiendra pas la moitié des livres et histoire de ce livre. Ce livre est un ouvrage de référence très impressionnant qui a juste omis une des saga les plus intéressantes avec Star Wars: Legacy.
Hautement recommandé pour tout fans qui veut savoir ce qui existe comme histoire de star wars et qui veut avoir la chance d'au moins lire le résumé.

This was a very good book. It provides a summary of all Star wars adult books, young adult books, junior novels, and short stories that appeared in Star Wars Gamer/Insider and buts them into the proper chronology. It departs from the official chronology in the front of the novels slightly as it accounts for the fact that Anakin Skywalker is made a Jedi Knight shortly into the clone wars (per the cartoon), thus books/stories in the clone war era that have Anakin as a padawan must take place during the first 4 weeks of the war.
The book also addresses important comic book events (Mara-Luke wedding, Dark Empire series) as well and explains how they fit into the series. For several books, especially the more recent series', development notes are included that explain how the stories came about.
I actually skipped a few of the summaries for those books that I haven't read before (just so I don't spoil it for myself) but the book was good. Even though I had just read the Legacy of the Force series a few years ago, I didn't realize how little I remembered it. Plus, reading the summaries one after the other provides a better overview of the entire arc of a series like LOTF or FOTJ because then you can see how different events connect which might be missed when books are read at publication months apart.
One notable exception was Darth Plagius was not included even though Mercy Kill was despite Plagius being published first.

This book is really informative and shows you generally about all of the novels and short stories in the Legends Expanded Universe (the good version of Star Wars, in my opinion and started by George Lucas and ended with Disney's buyout of the Intellectual Property.)
It gives you a guide that:
*Shows what order you should read the novels (so that there won't be spoilers, I assume)
*Designates the eras and years (before [BBY] and after [ABY] the Battle of Yavin) of Star Wars
*Identifies the characters and places in the novel
*Presents pictures of the action created specifically for the book
*Establishes who wrote which story
*Associates the year that it was created... in order from the first novel in 1976 to the last made in 2013
The only criticism that I can find of it was the fact that everything that wasn't a written story by text was not included in the guide, along with graphic novels, youngest children and young adult literature, video games, role playing games, TV shows and movies not made into a book, and comics (though the "Tales of the Jedi" and "The Old Republic" series were mentioned in Spotlight section.)

Given that the Essential Chronologies basically summarize the plots of (not quite all) of the books and stories in the SW Universe, this book largely feels like a cash-in. There are some nice things about it, of course, but they don't seem quite enough to justify its existence. For instance, I like to know where EU elements came from and follow their thread through different writers over time, and this is much easier to do in this format. Wookieepedia is still a superior choice for that pursuit. The big advantage the Companion has over Wookieepedia is thorough summaries of all the short stories in the Rebellion era, which would be a godsend to someone looking to work in that time period or with those elements of canon, since tracking them down and ordering them etc. would otherwise be a nightmare. There are a few tidbits provided about the writing of each book, but not enough to be really satisfying. And the Reader's Companion doesn't even deign to include comics!

Authoritative summaries of Star Wars Universe stories printed up until 2012 by Master SW Archivist Pablo Hidalgo. If you're looking for somewhere to jump in this is a great tome to peruse to find an arc that interests you.
I've been flipping through this for years since I received it as a Christmas Gift. It's been a pleasant refresher for me. Unfortunately, as the Expanded Universe I grew up with has been wiped away by the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney, new fans may ignore these great tales because they "don't count" anymore. Since it's common these days to reboot franchises I would love to see these stories rebranded some day as an alternate universe similar to the Infinities Comics to reinvigorate and restore their treasured place in the SWU.

Star Wars The Essential Readers Companion is a must for any fan of the Star Wars expanded universe. With illustrations varying (in my opinion) from pretty good to masterful, this book is fun and colorful from start to finish. The reason for the 4 star rating is because, due to the constantly expanding universe, there can be no such thing as a COMPLETE readers companion. However the author and artists do a wonderful job of simplifying and explaining the complex web of Star Wars tales published thus far.

Wow, this is a thorough book. I've been reading Star Wars books for a while now, and this reader's guide is a great way to go back and revisit old books without rereading them. The summaries are good, but the background info on the books is what's really interesting. A lot of work was put into this.
February 21, 2016
Awesome Star Wars overall timeline! I am so glad I found and bought this book before the Disney overhaul. Now I have the complete history of Star Wars literature before the change. Beautiful pages with great summaries and facts. A must for every star wars fan that enjoyed the expanded universe before Disney changed it.

“ALL IN! OH YEAH!”
This is a really good compilation of Star Wars Books + Comics. If you haven’t read it all you may enjoy reading all the summaries of each books/comics so that you’ll be on the track of the Whole Star Wars series.

i love this book because it helps me keep track of which books are out and what they are about. i have yet to actually get this book but i hope to soon. its a must have for anyone who wishes to read the series. :)

Might as well just use wookiepedia. There must have been a reason why I couldn't see a preview of the intro on amazon. It states that not everything in the expanded universe is explored. The book covers fiction but does not cover the comics
October 16, 2015
This is an excellent addition to any Star Wars book lovers library. You'll find everything you've ever wanted to know about your favorite books, and even find out if there are ones worth buying with simple previews of each book.
Definitely recommended.

Great reference source for the now Legends series of Star Wars books.
February 28, 2015
Not kept updated. I think they ought to have brought it up to the end of the "Legends" ie. books published before the turnover of the EU to Disney.
October 3, 2015
Great road map and reference book. Just not enough comic info for me. My rating for this book is a 4.5 out of 5.0.
March 2, 2013
Great guide for fans that want to start reading the books.
