Sometimes when you read a book from a licensed property you think "Man, this writer really gets [insert property here]". THIS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE! Angleberger - Origami Yoda - gets Star Wars. It's not only a great introduction to the story but fills in some gaps (you won't look at Ewoks the same way again) and has enough masterful trolling of the Lucas Special Editions to satisfy long-term fans that Angleberger knows what he is talking about. There is a colossal amount of Star Wars books and comics being released but this, along with Claudia Grey's Lost Stars, are the two must-reads.
