I like The Thrawn trilogy and Duology the most, the rest of his EU stuff is okay if you forget the prequelisms. The Disney stuff is solid writing but boring as hell without a Luke Skywalker, or Mara Jade.

The original arc of the trilogy and duology are almost perfect. Except for the invaders hinted at beyond the galaxies that turned out to be the Vong. Hated Thrawn and Palpatine being turned into the good guys. Hated Mara saying she didn’t believe the emperor reborn was Palpatine, that was Zahn taking a shot of Veitch.

Don’t care for in the trilogy how it is described Palpatine used the force to give strength to the Imperial Navy and after his death how they were routed. Too lord of the rings and Sauron.
