Though the art was a mixed bag, the dialogue could reach PT-levels of cringe-worthiness at times, and its depiction of the Great Sith War was far too truncated, I still quite like the Tales of the Jedi comics.

Unlike many of the later stories set in the same timeframe, TOTJ actually looked like it took place 4000-5000 years before the OT, with technology/architecture/clothing looking far clunkier/archaic than anything seen in the films. Plus TOTJ legitimately expanded the SW Universe; it would’ve been so easy to insert some Skywalker/Solo/Organa/etc. ancestors into the stories, but the writers never did; the characters were wholly original with no apparent connections to anyone from the films.

When the nuEU comics get around to telling stories set in the “Old Republic” era, I hope they return to the aesthetics and world-building of TOTJ instead of going the KOTOR/TOR route.
