Star Wars Canon Books in Order: Timeline & Release Order
When I want a list of the Star Wars canon books in order, I usually want one simple thing: the current official timeline without Legends titles mixed in and without a bunch of comics, reference books, art books, or kid-focused read-alongs getting in the way.
