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 is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By uncfan888 · Posted

      I'd give anything to go back to a 4-3 but we are so removed from having the pieces for that. All because Tepper wanted to force this 3-4 on all our coaches.
