I read a series years ago and remember very little about it. I'm hoping someone can help me find it. Here is what I remember.
*It involves lot's of inhabited planets and is set in the future.
*At least some planets were set up like the wild west with showdowns
*The plot of the first book has someone, I think a writer or reporter looking for a famous gunman that has been around a long time but no one knows his identity.
*When the current version is found they reveal that there have been many of them and the current one is sick of gunfighting and wants to retire.
*This is the notable part of the series: A girl is found in the first book that warps events to come out favorably for her.
*In the second or 3rd book she lives in a glass room and merely by how she moves around in that room she somehow draws the main characters to her.
*I think one or more of the books has a priest/preacher as a major character.

I'm sure the book is at least 10 years old.

This is called "Trigun".

I've seen Trigun. Great series but not the book trilogy I'm referring to.

Could it be Santiago: a Myth of the Far Future? From wikipedia/tvtropes it checks most of the boxes.

Sounds weird and interesting as hell. Message me if you ever figure it out.

Sounds like what little I did read of the Dark Tower series.
But I may be horribly wrong there x3
