If you’re a fan of reading, you can enjoy hours of thrilling Star Wars adventures. See our top picks.

Brought to life by Lucasfilm, Disney’s daughter company, Star Wars is a legendary science-fiction franchise with a massive fan base. If you’re a lover of the book series or movies, you probably can’t get enough of the story - and you’re not alone. Many likeminded people have created their own fan fiction. You can find countless stories online, and new ones pop up almost daily. If you’re a fan of reading, you can enjoy hours of thrilling adventures. But first, let’s see why fanfics are all the rage.

What is fan fiction?

Fan fiction is exactly what the name implies - fictional stories created by fans and built around the original. They’re often short stories, but you can also find some long-form versions. Nothing is impossible when you blend sci-fi and a fan’s vivid imagination. That’s why so much Star Wars fan fiction has surfaced over the years. Some fans put themselves in the shoes of the full cast of their favorite characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi or Han Solo. Others make up new characters, storylines, prequels and cross-overs. Interestingly, there are already hundreds of Star Wars books published by Penguin Random House and others on top of those written by George Lucas. Popular titles include Timothy Zahn’s Grand Admiral Thrawn and Justina Ireland’s Star Wars: The High Republic. And fans still can’t get enough of the story. But where can you read them all? Lucky for you, it isn’t necessary to travel to distant Tatooine to get your fix of fan fiction.
