Favorite Thing in Star Wars Expanded Universe

With the death imminent in relation to the expanded universe as Canon, I have to ask what everyone's favorite moment, person, time, place, or thing was from the expanded universe.

As a kid, I absolutely loved Star Wars. Enough to make me buy 7 games for my xbox. Two of those happened to be Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2.

Those are by far in my top 3 favorite games, and I absolutely loved the universe set up, the story, the characters, everything. There is a reason that Darth Revan is my favorite Sith Lord.

(Also TOR sucks.)

I wish I could explain to the younger people here the rush it was to go to the bookstore and see the first Han Solo book as well as Splinter of the Minds Eye. Brian Daley really invented the Expanded Universe and did a great job with it. Oh and the X Wing Simulator game for PC was great too

The books I've read so far, Darth Bane trilogy was my favorite. The rule of two how much knowledge he discovered and unlocked from holocrons.

Game wise goes to Star Wars Galaxies up until pre NGE. I still play on swgemu stable server. It's the game up until Jump to lightspeed. No CU, or NGE. That game got me into all the EU of star wars.

Loved X wing for PC. The only thing that really frustrated the crap out of me was when I accidently hit the shields key one too many times trying to switch to double front and getting killed 20 minutes into one of the long missions.

Have to honestly say I haven't read the books because I had no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

Heir to the Empire was the first series in the "new" Star Wars line and for many people it's their favorite. It's got all the characters not that long after the last movie, a great villain that is complex and not a cardboard cutout baddie, some great Star Wars tech and battles...

 

If you loved that X Wing Game the Rogue Squadron books are great - they use the terminiology and controls from the X Wing game in the books which I thought was cool.

 

But Han Solo at Star's End was the first and so great, no rebellion, just Han and Chewie sticking it to the man. Splinter of the Minds Eye was written by Alan Dean Foster who ghost wrote the Star Wars novelization and is a very entertaining book although it kind of throws canon out the window from the get go.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
