Star Wars is an American epic space-opera media franchise, centered on a film series created by George Lucas that includes Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983). The series depicts the adventures of various characters "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". Many derivative Star Wars works have been produced in conjunction with, between, and after the original trilogy of films, and later installments. This body of work was collectively known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe for decades.

In October 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm for $4.06 billion. In April 2014, Lucasfilm rebranded the Expanded Universe material as Star Wars Legends and declared it non-canon to the Star Wars franchise. The company's focus would be shifted towards a restructured Star Wars canon based on new material. The first new canon adult novel was Star Wars: A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller, published in September 2014.

This is a list of original novels, novel adaptations, original junior novels, junior novel adaptations, young readers, and short stories in the Star Wars franchise. This list does not include journals, graphic novels or comic books, which can be found in the list of Star Wars comic books. Reference books and roleplaying gamebooks can be found at the list of Star Wars reference books.

Fictional timeline abbreviations BBY : Before the Battle of Yavin, prior to the culminating event of the original 1977 Star Wars film ABY : After the Battle of Yavin, events following the original 1977 Star Wars film
Maturity rating abbreviations AA : Adult audiences. YA : Young readers; typically shorter than an adult novel, and accessible for younger audiences. EB : eBook; originally released as digital short stories, but may be included with other novels.

Film, television and video game adaptations

The novelizations offer alternate takes on the events of the movies, with many including discarded or slightly altered plotlines. Those published before 25 April 2014 are considered Legends like all other media.

In 2015, the original six Star Wars films were adapted as Little Golden Books. In 2017, A New Hope was also released as a Big Golden Book. Additionally, Solo: A Star Wars Story and the sequel trilogy were adapted. Many other original titles featuring scenes from throughout the saga have been released, including I Am a Padawan by Ashley Eckstein. An upcoming release will adapt The Mandalorian.

Star Wars Legends stories (1976–2014)

This body of work represents the original Star Wars expanded universe, which was rebranded as Star Wars Legends and declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014.

Beginning with the 1999 release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Lucasfilm has divided its titles by fictional "era" with symbols designating such:

Publishing eras Before the Republic: stories taking place before 25,000 BBY. Old Republic: stories taking place between 25,053 BBY to 1,000 BBY. Rise of the Empire: stories taking place between 1000 BBY to 0 BBY. Rebellion: stories taking place between 0 BBY to 5 ABY. New Republic: stories taking place between 5 ABY to 25 ABY. New Jedi Order: stories taking place between 25 ABY to 37 ABY. Legacy: stories taking place after 37 ABY.
