You can read [Lost Stars] (http://www.amazon.com/Journey-Star-Wars-Force-Awakens/dp/1484724984) it's a book about 2 people that grow up together, go to the Imperial academy, and one deflects to the Rebellion. Goes through the entire original trilogy from the new character's perspectives. It's a great read, one of my favorite from the new canon.

  1. You are painting a large group of people with the same brush. They don't represent the entire subset of fans who see an interesting Rey/Kylo dynamic happening in the future. There have been many vocal "reylo" users reblogging this message condemning any fan who harasses writers/actors.

  2. We've been over the topic of Reylo in this sub before. Read this post and this one.

  3. Love of all forms is a common theme in Star Wars. Romance is a prominent part of the canon book Lost Stars which has had an overwhelmingly positive reception from fans of all kinds since its release, and it's by Claudia Gray who is a YA author.

Lost Stars has the YA tag, and also happens to easily be the best novel I have read from the new Star Wars Canon.

I recently finished Lost Stars, by Claudia Gray. It's a 'new timeline' book (not EU) and also one of the better Star Wars books I've read.

Pretty cool Star Wars novel: https://amzn.com/1484724984

Could be interesting.

On a side note, there are slowly trickling out stories focused around imperial soldiers in some capacity. Though, they are junior novels...

With that in mind there is a planned 5 junior novels planned for Zare Leonis.

Also, there is this junior novel that has similar elements to your story, but deviates greatly:

How to explain without major spoilers for Bloodlines...

Ben goes bad because he finds out about his parentage in the wrong way while off training with Luke. Not because Leia is a busy lady, but maybe not helped because of it.

Regardless, I recommend Bloodlines and Lost Stars to anyone who is Star Wars book curious. They're excellent, and Claudia Gray is pretty cool. I hope you enjoy them if you pick them up!

The book I'd recommend most for good stories focusing on leia or other female leads would be one that just came out last week, and I just finished. It is in the new canon, and is called 'Bloodline'. Leia is front and center in it, and the book is basically bridging the gap between return of the jedi, and the force awakens. It takes place about 6 years before TFA (the force awakens), and deals with Leia trying to get things done in the senate despite political stagnation (nobody agrees on anything, and so nothing gets done), while also trying to stop a rising cartel from gaining more power, and eventually her creating the resistance seen in TFA. It's by Claudia Gray; she is quickly becoming one of my favored authors, across both old and new star wars eu.

She has another book called 'Lost Stars' that is pretty good too, but may not be what you're looking for. It is, at it's core, a romance between a guy and a girl, starting before a new hope, and taking them through all the events of the original trilogy of movies. It focuses on both of them, and switches between their perspectives every so often, so it focuses on a female lead, but also on the male lead pretty evenly, so I'm not sure how well that one fits your criteria. But it is pretty good! :)

So,
Those are both in the new canon. If you're looking for stuff from the old canon, I'm not sure of anything that is actually focused on Leia or another female lead, instead of being focused on Luke or Han and having a prominent secondary female character. I know theres at least a few, but their names aren't coming to me at the moment. I keep thinking of a trilogy called 'Sword of the Jedi' that was going to center around Han Solo's daughter Jaina, but that trilogy got cancelled in the shakeup of disney buying lucasfilm...
Hmm, lets see, I know theres something haha, I'm positive... I might edit this or reply to it when I remember. Hopefully this has helped a little though!

Oh, and welcome to reddit, as well as the star wars EU! :D
I hope you'll enjoy your stay, haha!

I agree I didn't find it very young adult either but it is listed as a young adult novel:

It's also listed in the Young Adult category on Amazon:

I just read "Lost Stars" which is considered canon. They go very deep into how your average imperial soldier was recruited, what their motives were, and why some of them leave for the rebellion. It was a pretty good read, and it follows the timeline of the original trilogy.

u/TumbleDryLow · 1 pointr/StarWars

My personal favorites (although note, neither are canon anymore):

1.) Shatterpoint: follows Mace Windu, and is essentially Star Wars' take on Heart of Darkness.

2.) The Thrawn Trilogy: Widely hailed as the best of the Star Wars EU. In my opinion, it has some of the best and worst elements. The good: a brilliant, nuanced antagonist; the bad: evil clones (a terrible subplot).

I haven't read it yet, but Lost Stars has been very well received (despite being billed as a young adult novel). I'd recommend it if you'd like a new canonical novel.

Get him the hard back cover to the book Lost Stars. It is currently the highest acclaimed Star Wars book out. He'll thank you with every chapter.

Then get him some other kind of accessory too.
