For those of us who have read almost all of the books in the Expanded Universe, there are three upcoming books that look amazing and gasp might actually be canon! They are 'Tarkin', 'Heir to the Jedi', and 'Lords of the Sith'. The first book is giving Grand Moff Tarkin the 'Darth Plagueis' treatment and it looks to be amazing. The next is a first person account from Luke Skywalker between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. And the last tells the story of the Emperor and Darth Vader kicking ass and taking names together.

I highly suggest everyone who enjoys reading pick up a copy when they come out. Here is the link to read more.
