Since there’s already a general Unpopular Opinion Thread, I thought it would have been nice to start a thread dedicated to unpopular opinions specifically related to the Expanded Universe.

I will start with some of my unpopular opinions.

I honestly don’t find the post-ROTJ stories from the EU to be that interesting. I’m much more interested in the Old Republic, the Prequel era, and the Imperial era up until the Battle of Endor. I don’t mind the post-ROTJ stories (if we exclude anything post-NJO), I just find the pre-ROTJ stories to be more interesting.
I don’t mind the Old Republic MMO, I actually like it quite a lot. However, I think that the expansions are much worse than the original, base game. They introduce a lot of plots that are convoluted and unnecessary, like Vitiate coming back a million times, the Eternal Empire, Malgus surviving, etc. Therefore, even though I actually like the game, I try to stick with the original story and ignore the expansions.
The Revan novel — and The Old Republic in general — don’t ruin Revan’s character. Yes, they ruin the Jedi Exile from Knights of the Old Republic II, but they don’t ruin Revan in my opinion.
I vastly prefer the way in which the Clone Wars were portrayed in the Prequels (and the 2000s EU) over the vague image of the war that results from reading the Thrawn Trilogy and the rest of the pre-Prequels EU.
The old EU didn’t have as much contradictions as anti-EU people claim. It was consistent with itself at least 70% of the time. Which doesn’t mean that there were not contradictions, of course, but they were not nearly as much as some people claim. Especially when you consider how many authors wrote in the EU and how many books and comics were supposed to exist in the same universe, the existence of some contradictions can be totally forgiven. Also, I think that the 2008 Clone Wars TV show was responsible for a good portion of the contradictions of the old EU.

Excited to read your own unpopular opinions as well.
