what are the good Star Wars legends books to read for someone new?

hi! i recommend anyone getting into legends for the first time to read the thrawn trilogy by timothy zahn starting with heir to the empire. it’s quite literally the very beginning of legends in terms of publishing order bc they were the first star wars books ever written, and it’s a great continuation to the original trilogy and introduces the fan beloved mara jade. after that it just depends where your interests lie. the star wars timeline is expansive and there are 30 years of books that were put out before disney locked them down so there’s just so much to cover. if you want to stay in the post movie continuity, the new jedi order series is a staple. other books i really enjoy: young jedi knights, the jedi academy trilogy, choices of one, tatooine ghost, shatterpoint, darth plagueis, labyrinth of evil, death troopers. there are gaps in quality at times but i think a lot of your enjoyment just hinges on what your favorite era/characters/genres are bc it’s all over the place.

Henry Gilroy, writer and co-executive producer of Star Wars: Rebels, really said that the Rebels writing team specifically chose not to make Sabine Wren Force sensitive in Rebels; therefore, there is no foreshadowing in any of the episodes of Rebels for Sabine's Force usage in Ahsoka.

Gilroy stated that the writers of Rebels ultimately decided that giving Sabine Force sensitivity was "a bad idea". It would've infringed upon Ezra's arc and character, felt redundant, and they could not come up with a good reason for why they would push Sabine in that direction when she was already an accomplished warrior in her own right. Force sensitivity wouldn't have given Sabine anything that she lacked, would've made her feel op, and it would've taken away from the skills and strengths that she already had. According to Gilroy, it was much stronger to show Sabine Wren as someone who was not a Jedi but who could still embrace Jedi ideals and philosophy, which, he said, is exactly how Trials of the Darksaber was written.

Force User Sabine is entirely novel to the Ahsoka show, and Gilroy's comments could be summed up to say that giving Sabine Force sensitivity was lazy writing that made the character boring and redundant and didn't follow connect with any of the character traits that she herself had.
