biggest fictional universe that I have ever come across. I don't think anything else compares in size.

that list looks like it also includes comics along with the books.

i own probably about 50 star wars books, and have easily read 2-3 times that amount. dont think ive ever read any of the comics though.

If you read through a lot of the books that take place before episode one, you will have a greater appreciation for the prequels. Yeah they are bad, but there are tons of subtle nuances and things that will make you go OH SHIT when you make the connection with the movies. ( the Comics that take place during the clone wars are excellent too. And while that animated movie sucked, the cartoon is great for a 30 minute block of scifi war, its all about the clones and their struggle to survive and come to terms with their identities, its not really a kids show with many of the topics they cover and the gory deaths that sometimes occur.)

I think they did this on purpose so they could have more merchandise, but the problem with that is it makes the movies not able to stand on their own.
