Is it worth to read Star Wars novels? (lemmy.eco.br)

I feel like it will be bad because authors won't have freedom to make things their way.

Should I spend my time reading it or look for a long series of a single author?

I've read a few over the years and always enjoyed them. They're never amazing or anything imo, I've never run into one that knocked it out of the park or anything, but I'm not a huge Star Wars fan anyway.

But they also kinda get a baseline level of decent worldbuilding and natural conflict that keeps them from being dull or anything.

If I was, say, in an airport and needed to buy a book, it's exactly what I would reach for if I saw it. Favorite was the one that followed and explained Mace Windu.
