The Clone Wars Backstory: Star Wars Novels Explained!

   / @elawrenceanderson  

This episode of The List bridges 'Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss's' internal Jedi struggles with the galactic scale of Zahn's 'Outbound Flight,' exploring the Unknown Regions and introducing Thrawn. This sets the stage for Amidala's Senate challenges in Johnston's 'Queen's Shadow,' highlighting the Republic's internal decay. This decay then fuels Dooku's disillusionment in Scott's 'Dooku: Jedi Lost,' and the resulting Separatist tensions in Foster's 'The Approaching Storm.' Ultimately, all these threads – political, personal, and exploratory – converge in the novelization of 'Attack of the Clones,' where the seeds sown by Sidious blossom into the Clone Wars
