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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
