Pretty much this. Can't be arsed to storytime, but here's a pdf with the Star Wars Jedi: Count Dooku comic.

Here's my contribution.

Got a few more recommendations. Just remembered Precious Weapon & Jango Fett: Open Seasons. Both are from Dooku's perspective. Also have audiobook/ebook versions of Plagueis & Labyrinth of Evil, will put everything in a .zip folder and put up a mega link at some point today.

Here's Most Precious Weapon for the moment. Pretty short.

Here's the .zip file.

Th-Thanks guys… Seriously thanks. I've started off with Plagueis. I'm not done yet, but I'm enjoying it and I really like Darth Tenebrous. Was he in other stories? Was he mentioned in Clone Wars?

Read the short story "the tenebrous way" by matthew stover. It's a prequel to Plagueis.

also, you should know that Darth Plagueis references and spoils other books, such as "Cloak of Deception" and iirc possibly "Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter" (and possibly some more darth maul short stories). It also references various plotlines from comics such as "Republic" and "Jedi Council - Acts of War".

the short stories were usually released in various star wars magazines. If you want to read them with the artwork as they were printed in the magazines, you can find the magazines themselves and other star wars EU comics and books for free in places like http://libgen.io/.

another good source is

and this here should be a pretty good starter pack but it could be missing something

now if you're worried about the amount of material and what order to read it in or whether you missed some important short story, go here

http://www.starwarstimeline.net/Riseoftheempire.htm

and CTRL + F your way through to make sense of it. Don't worry about splitting books into chapters, that's not necessary (although I admit I've done it a few times on special cases)

if you want to get the most out of "Legacy of the Jedi", I recommend following that through with "Jedi Apprentice". It's for younger readers, but if you think of it as a pre-Phantom Menace TCW with obi-wan and qui-gon and their friends instead of the anakin and clone troopers, it can be pretty fun. It has a tie-in prequel comic from Dark Horse called "Jedi-The Dark Side" and it's also continued by "Jedi Quest" from the same author which begins Anakins apprenticeship.

I also got into the EU not too long ago and I've basically used the above mentioned sources for comics/books and built my own folder.

I also used the below links as a means of tracking time

http://www.starwarstimeline.net/

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Legends_books

and optional (but imo entertaining and somewhat useful), a youtube playlist where this dude is in the progress of reading through every EU novel in chronological order.

have fun

I've included "The Tenebrous Way" from Insider 130 as an example of what your average short story looks like in the magazines. (cont in the next post)
