Looking for more Star Wars? Look no further
I highly recommend this prequel of all prequels to those of you who can't get enough Star Wars and still want more. You can either choose the Republic or Sith Empire and choose from 8 different classes.

On its own, Marquand’s film is a lesser film than its two direct prequels. However, it naturally benefits from the effect of “sequel continuity” – the idea that a sequel requires less focus on story building and character development...

better than the prequels by a long shot. (3 more)
Fun little callbacks to the originals
Acting is actually quite good from the newcomers.
The direction is spot on.
This is a fun time at the movies.
This is a very solid addition to the Star Wars franchise. Here's an amazing alternate movie poster in the style of stained glass, which I kinda LOVE.

Now considered part of 'Legends' rather than canon, this is the third in the 90s series of Star Wars: X Wing books by MMichael A Stackpole, back before the sequels and even before the prequels were a thing!
Here, this novel primarily deals with the fallout from the conquest of Coruscant (or Imperial Centre, as it was originally called in the films), with the main character of Corran Horn captured by Ysanne Isard and believed dead by his comrades.
Isard, meanwhile, has unleashed a deadly contagion upon the denizens of the city planet in a plan to stir up foment amongst the various species (and leaders) of the New Republic.
While the novel does show its age somewhat - Jedi had family, no Padawans (remember, written before the prequels!) - this is still an entertaining read that, I feel, stands up well amongst several of the 'newer' novels.

Must read!
While this book is not the first in the series ( you read 10 books before getting to this one) it will always be my favorite. Every book in the two series before this and the two prequels are amazing but this one is my favorite just because of the fact that I love Belgarath. He's just so entertaining and funny. Very enjoyable read!!

An interesting prequel
After the very lacklustre and ridiculous sequel Cube 2: Hypercube, Cube Zero is a breath of fresh air. I’m usually very much against prequels as they tend to over explain and try too hard, erasing any mystery. Fortunately I found that for the most part Cube Zero doesn’t go down the route that most prequels do. Yes it explains a few things and elaborates more on the reasons and origins behind the cube, but not to the point that it erases all intrigue. The ending too and how it relates back to the original i found rather satisfying.
I’m grateful that they’ve gone back to basics with this too. Gone is the over the top CGI and instead the wonderfully gory traps and physical effects are back, and some of the gore in this is rather impressive. Whilst I don’t think it’s as good as the original, it’s definitely very close.

The authors take their Peter Pan prequels to the era we know best as Peter must team up with Wendy to save Molly, George, and all of England from a new threat still after the star stuff. If you've enjoyed the others in the YA series, you'll certainly enjoy this one. The multiple plots actually seemed to compliment each other, and I always had a hard time putting the book down.
