To answer your probably now forgotten question, "I do not know much about Star Wars so I may try and read the books. Any suggestions for the first books to read?" The Thrawn trilogy is by far one of the most important in the old (better) canon. It introduces characters who later have effects throughout the "old" canon. Such as Talon Karrde and gilad Pellaeon. This book echoes throughout the rest of said universe and has lasting reprecussions; among the most important, the deaths of 365 trillion sentient beings and countless worlds due to the Yuuzhan Vong war. Which could have been prevented if Thrawn had lived to conquer the galaxy and lead a renewed and aware empire against that bizarre and ruthless foe.
