Much of my love from the EU comes from the Old Republic era. This includes Tales of the Jedi, Kotor games, and the Darth Bane trilogy. They show what life was like during the Old Republic and it keeps itself separated from the movies, almost making as its own thing.

Also, I do enjoy bits and pieces of the 90s books produced by Bantam and media associated in this era of Star Wars. This includes Zahn's Thrawn trilogy and Hand of Thrawn duology, the Jedi Academy trilogy, and the Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy game. I liked how it shows the New Republic and Jedi Order slowly rebuilding itself while dealing with remnants of the Empire.

There are even some bits and pieces I like from the EU of the prequels. My favorite thing would be Genndy's 2003 Clone Wars micro-series. There are also small hints I enjoy, like the Tusken Jedi A'Sharad Hett. The new Clone Wars is just "meh" for me as there are some things that I don't like (like Grievous going all Cobra Commander in the show) while I enjoy certain story arcs (like the Season 5 finale).

I haven't been able to read any of the Marvel comics. I am interested since I heard one of the comics talks about Obi-Wan and the Clone Wars.
