Lords of the Sith

This book was plain old fun! Obviously not for all the characters who got murdered, but it is a fast-paced adventure centered on an assassination attempt on Palpatine and Vader, a look at a single rebel cell and the tactics they need to keep fighting, and the way that people acquiesce to imperial rule if they get a little bit of power. Plenty of juicy dramatic psychological stuff for Vader and Cham Syndulla, but my favorite part was Palpatine being simultaneously the most evil being in the galaxy and a campy troll out to cause chaos for fun.
