As one of the most prolific franchises in media history, there are so many great Star Wars stories that are remarkably underrated. Star Wars is one of the most well-known movie franchises of all time, and it would be extremely difficult to find someone who doesn't know about it. The core stories of the Death Star plans, the Rebel Alliance, the Empire, and characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and Yoda are all culturally ingrained into our society. Despite this, there are so many other stories and characters left to be explored.
Star Wars has been full of stories that exist in the periphery since the very beginning. Comics, books, TV shows, and more have existed for decades, and flesh out the universe in so many unexpected ways, but these stories don't get nearly as much attention as the most popular ones. From comics about famous characters' backstories to books that completely shift the genre of Star Wars, here's a list of the top 10 most underrated Star Wars stories ever created.
