Ronin: A Visions Novel

Ronin: A Visions Novel by Emma Mieko Candon

A tie-in to the anime short film "The Duel" from the Star Wars: Visions series on Disney+, Ronin is the first ever full novel set in a re-imagined alternate Star Wars universe completely separate from the Legends and New Canon timelines. 

Forget everything you know about the history of the Star Wars galaxy, and dive into an all new world of Jedi and Sith based around the look and feel of feudal Japan. The book is written by a Japanese-American author.

This book isn't part of either the Legends or New Canon timelines. Don't expect it to fit in with any past or future Star Wars stories (even the movies!) except for the short film "The Duel".

Dooku: Jedi Lost (Audiobook and Script)

Dooku: Jedi Lost by Cavan Scott
Unlike other Star Wars audiobooks, which are readings of books that were written for print, Dooku: Jedi Lost was made especially for audio - the first Star Wars book of its kind. It's also narrated by a full cast playing the different characters in the story, in a way more like a radio play than a book.

The "book" is a sort of origin story for Count Dooku, telling the backstory of how he rose in the Jedi ranks and ultimately ended up leaving the order and turning to the dark side. In the story, his background is being researched during the Clone Wars by his apprentice, Asajj Ventress.

If you don't like to listen to audiobooks or aren't able to, you can also buy the script of the story as a printed book.

The Darth Bane saga

A thousand years before the events of the Star Wars movies, the last Sith Empire was defeated...but one ambitious survivor saved the Sith Order by taking it underground, setting the stage for the rise of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader a millennium later.

Darth Plagueis

Darth Plagueis by James Luceno
A story set over the course of decades, this is the history how the Sith rose again to power through the schemes of Darth Plagueis, the ambitious Sith Lord who trained the later-emperor Palpatine in the ways of the Force! 

In many ways, it's more of a biography of Palpatine (a.k.a. Darth Plagueis) than of Plagueis himself, so it comes very much recommended for anyone interested in young Palpatine as well.

A fan-favorite novel, and something of a masterpiece of the late Legends publishing days, pulling together and drawing dots between many of the other Legends books, comics, and even video games set during the prequel era.
