Back in the fall of 2012, I was unemployed and had a very bad idea that Brian, the editor over at Tosche Station, encouraged.  I had a little under 100 Star Wars books sitting on my bookshelf and hadn’t gotten the chance to reread them in ages so obviously the best course of action was to read all of them again.  I also let myself be bribed into adding The Crystal Star to the list.  SOMEONE STILL OWES ME A REREAD OF REVENGE OF THE SITH.

Thus the Waru Express was born.

The goal of the project was never to pull a Pablo Hidalgo and reread everything although it is tempting to do a sequel project one day and reread all the rest of the Legends books.  The rules were thus: I started chronologically and read my way through my own personal Star Wars book collection.  I also be reread and read some books for the first time that I am able to get from the library and/or also interested me. Every two to six or so books, I posted my thoughts on them.  The original project lasted seven months but I’ll be reposting them (with some minors edits and probably a touch of modern day commentary) once a week. On the list below, the ones marked with a * were ones I’d previously read but didn’t own while those marked with a ~ were ones I hadn’t read before.

To those of you who experienced the Waru Express when it originally happened… enjoy the trip down memory lane.  For those of you who have never had the pleasure… buckle up because it’s going to be a wild ride.  Feel free to tweet me any thoughts you may have along the way @chaosbria. 😉
