After watching Star Wars episode 1 again, I noticed a few things that imply a long history between the Sith and Jedi. A jedi on the council exclaimed, "The Sith have been extinct for a millennia!" and also, Darth Maul exclaimed, "At last we will destroy the Jedi; at last we will have our revenge!" This leads me to believe the Jedi and the Sith have a long history of violence and dispute.

Obviously large scale wars never happened between them until the start of episode 1, but surely some very important battles must have occurred? Surely there was heroes and villians on both sides that warrant acknowledgement? Are there any books that Lucas has released that prequel episode 1? Surely a lot of effort has been put into the animated series, which details events occurring between episode 2 and 3, but are there any plans for the series' prequel? Leave your thoughts and thanks for reading!

Huge wars have been there. More even between Sith and Sith.. basically Sith >>> Jedi, but the Sith wiped themselves out and the rule of two was established.

There were a lot of awesome Siths before, but treacherous, they were.

Still rules, Yoda does.

So you're telling me Lucas does have books out in regard to this topic? Good to know 0_0.
No. He does not as far as we know of. Lucas had a series of 9-12 episode plots laid out. From my knowledge he would have the prequels, the original, the sequel, and the sequel to the sequel.(he only had 9 definative episode plots laid out)

Now all that said, I highly recommend reading all the star wars books that lucas has approved about starwars. There are many really good books written by other authors that get into things millenia before the prequels. And the thing is there is very little contradiction even among the many different authors of books.

So basically you have 3 universes.
1. Movie universe. Strictly things lucas has made, and things that disney will make for better or worse. Strict canon.
2. Extended universe. A bunch of books and series that all align with the movies. All the books build on each other. They all work together to form a alternate canon. They do not contradict much. They are approved by lucas.
3. Random Stuff that doesnt fit in the above 2 catergories. The force unleashed MIGHT fit in this catergory.

So these things in naruto would be like this.
1. Manga universe.
2. Anime universe.
3. Movie/some contradictory fillers.
