Actually, one of the best Star Wars games is, sadly, a prequel setting - "Republic Commando". I'm saying sadly because the prequels are undeserving of that game. Me, and every one of my friends, cared more about any of the clones in the squad than any prequel character, ever. It completely pulverizes the prequels in the quality of its action sequences, tension, dialogue and drama.

I played the demo of that and really enjoyed it.

Also, Stover's "Shatterpoint" is a great book. I know many people don't like it because it's supposedly "too dark, too philosophical and too militaristic" to be Star Wars... but hey, those people got their child-friendly, flat and "war is fun" prequels in the end.

Who wouldn't enjoy Star Wars: Hearts of Darkness?
