I've always been more of a Dark Forces kind of guy--I've owned the whole series at one point or another, and still get out Jedi Outcast/Academy for my Mac sometimes. (Of course, I do tend to cheat with the Force powers to make it more fun. lol) In addition to the excellence of gameplay, I like that their design makes relatively little concession to prequel-isms.

The RotS novelisation is pretty good. I read it before the movie came out, which may explain why it took me a while to see exactly why the movie SUX'D so much.
