I did that for a while but I'm too short and it was a killer on a hot day. I can understand his disrobing.

nothing about the climax of Star Wars makes any sense

Is this "poetry" or "lazy ham-handedness?"

I know this has been talked about before, but can someone recommend where to start with some Star Wars novels? I'm looking to get into some series of reading and figured this would be a good thing to get into.
About me:
Have seen all Star Wars movies multiple times, a closet Star Wars geek. I'm kind of Luke and Han and Vadered out though, so if someone could point me in the direction of books that don't include too much of them if they are in that time frame. I also wouldn't mind getting into stuff pre-vader, etc.

I know you mentioned being tired of Luke/Han, etc but I think the Heir to the Empire Trilogy (aka Thrawn Trilogy) is the natural place to go first. They take place 5 years after ROTJ.
>>The trilogy sold a combined total of 15 million copies. The Secret History of Star Wars by Michael Kaminski credits the Thrawn trilogy with rekindling public interest in the Star Wars franchise after it had faded following the release of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in 1983. According to Kaminski, it is possible that this renewed interest was a factor in George Lucas' decision to create the prequel trilogy.[1]
You could also just get the graphic novels which are nice way to consume the story quickly

Currently, the only cannon novel is Aftermath. Might as well start there.
I hear Honor Among Thieves by James S.A. Corey is awesome.
