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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
