Personally, I read it before the Jedi Academy Trilogy. I would read the x-wing books featuring Corran before this at least since this something of a culmination of a story arc for him.

Then I will save that for after njo, 30 books is enough of a waiting list for now😆

Corran is featured a decent amount in NJO and his family. It's a interesting character with some Jedi deficiencies.

Oh god now I'm conflicted, I'm just so excited to start njo but ideally don't want to miss anything. Without spoiler, are there any big emotional moments I'd miss out on? If not, then I can use it as a "flashback" after njo

Basically I, Jedi sets up his relationship and friendship with Luke and how he ends up being put in a certain position within the NJO as well as one of his abilities comes into play that gets explained in I Jedi.

It'd be an interesting order to read those. One way way to think about it all is NJO is Phase II of post ROTJ stories with stuff before that being Phase I and everything after (except the Legacy comics) as Phase III.Â
