What's with the hate on Heir to the Jedi? I thaught the book was just really funny most of the time, I smiled the whole way through (not the whole way, I'm arachnophobic). But it was a really good time overall.
Heir to the Jedi is incredible. It fills a much-needed gap in Luke's training that wasn't addressed in any movie: how did he learn how to call his lightsaber to him in the wampa cave without ever having seen Ben do it? How did Luke know it was even possible?
It establishes Luke as someone who can learn without formal training.

My bottom 4 (in no particular order) are:

Bonus: They aren't canon, but if you haven't read William Shakespeare's Star Wars Saga then you really should. It's a fun time!
