And this is probably one I shoulda remembered, given the community...Timothy Zahn's Outbound Flight. If you haven't read the Heir to the Empire trilogy, you should, but you don't strictly have to in order to really enjoy Outbound Flight. It's the story of a Jedi experiment in long-range spacefaring that takes place just before the rise of the empire, and Zahn's portrayal of the time period makes it truly understandable as to why the Empire became the success it did. And he's probably the most sophisticated dark sided Jedi I've ever come across. It's very easy to imagine a DS Revan like this guy.
And Zahn's the best SW writer out there, IMHO. His plots are dense and complex, his people are engaging, and his villains are smart.
