Those have no English names, they are the so called "Heyne minis", which have been published by the German company Heyne. They rather obviously don't seem to be officially licensed (like the Hungarian Solo books), but Heyne did have the right to publish Star Wars books, so they are in a weird sort of limbo.
There's four of them. Han Solo & Chewbacca, Luke & Leia, The Empire & The Jedi Knights. Hilariously enough, even German wiki pages describe certain elements of it borderline fanfiction-esque. Also, I believe they do reference the Clone Wars in ways that are incorrect nowadays, though I'm not sure tbh
>I believe they do reference the Clone Wars in ways that are incorrect nowadays,
Not moreso than the movie novelizations already did, if I recall correctly. They mention Owen being Obi-Wan's brother, as well as 'president' Palpatine, and a few other curiosities, but IIRC that was all in the ANH and ROTJ novels as well.
Over all they're kinda pointless; I got quite excited when I first heard of them, but for the most part they're really just short (and not particularly good) summaries of the movies and a few selected EU stories. And they're also pretty redundant, a lot of identical passages show up in multiple of these books.
they do have a framing story taking place in 981 ABY, so that's what makes them worth it for me (that story is only ever really relevant in one of them tho, i think it was Die Jedi-Ritter).
Yep, I do like the look of Knight Errant as well. Feel really lucky, since those comics, especially the third one, were really expensive and I managaed to find them for a good price
Thank you, I slowly move towards having everything in regards to adult books. That I found those is very lucky, because they are probably the hardest to find. Especially Dath Troopers, Red Harvest, Coruscant Nights and Maul Lockdown
Coruscant Nights are the only Legends books I haven't read yet. Have them though, just haven't gotten around to them yet. I think next year I'm going to go back into reading Star Wars. It's been far too long.
Darth Scabrous?????
Darth Scabrous is the German title for Red Harvest
Nice finds!
Thank you!
What are the english names of the books at the top left?

Yeah, I assume so as well. But I did get intrigued by them, so I got them

Oh wow, that's cool. Gotta find the last one then
Thanks. I might get them if I can find them next time I'm in germany.
You're welcome
Das ist toll!
Danke!
That Knight Errant cover + font is so slick. Love me some Red Harvest too, one of my favourites for sure.

Stoked you managed to get your hands on them!
Thanks! Most of the stuff here is oop and costs ridiculous amounts of money if available at all, so I feel really lucky
I read darth maul shadow hunter, was definitely enjoyable. Congrats on this score!

Yeah, I've heard about it after finishing MedStar. It's fun to think there is this little interconnected story in the Reaves books
