My favorite EU is:

Tales of the Jedi
-Ulic Qel Droma
-Exar Kun
-Aleena Keto
-Vima Sunrider

Love TOTJ, but I’ve never been a fan of how compressed it all is. The Great Sith War spans, what, a year at most? If you’ve read the Dark Empire endnotes, you’d know Veitch originally envisioned the rise of the Krath and Ulic’s fall to the dark side as a process which spanned several years than the weeks/months the comics imply, so I don’t know why the storylines came out so truncated. KJA’s eventual involvement or some editorial decree from on high throwing a spanner in the works?

If I had any faith in the nuEU doing it justice, I’d like to see TOTJ redone as an ongoing title in the same vein as the KOTOR comic, but I just know it wouldn’t recapture any of the magic of the original. Probably end up with a scene of Kun bleeding a kyber crystal red in the process of constructing his double-bladed lightsaber, because that’s the stupid bullshit that typifies modern SW.
