The whole reason I got this idea was that after over a decade of waiting Crimson Empire III has just come out. Let's hope it's as good as the first two were, when the story line was about the Crimson Guard after the death of their beloved Emperor. I have no idea what they plan to do in this long awaited sequel, but I have the feeling it'll be a lot like Godfather 3, ok, but a little too late for it's time.
#4 Boba Fett: Twin Engines of Destruction
While most people will wonder why this isn't at the top, I have to admit when it comes to Boba Fett in the comics, the story really bottoms out. But not in this one as Fett tracks down a long time impostor Jodo Kast and what turned out to be the best Boba Fett story the comics ever told!
#3 The Making of Baron Fel
Almost forgot about this book when making my Top 5, but it simply has to be in here. One of the finest books of the X-Wing series, this comic established one of the most popular characters ever from a comic book series. Though now the books mainly linger on his son, Baron Fel's story is truly a classic!
#2 Tales of the Jedi
Hard to beat an original series! When Dark Horse took over the comics, years before books would be popular, this was the only Star Wars series you could find. Based 1000 years before Episode IV this series had one of the best stories DH will ever put out and I think they know it too.
#1 Dark Empire series
Clearly the best of the bunch! The Emperor has been cloned and Luke has joined the Dark side!! Great story, Luke's power in the Force is shown strongly throughout the books. It was so good author Kevin J Anderson became the first person to link the comics in with the books continuity. Genius!
