Around AOTC for me too. I could ignore TPM for the most part, but things were getting ridiculous. The NJO was absolutely no fun and stupid. That killed off the EU books for me. The 2004 DVDs were atrocious. I had them pre-ordered for months and counted down the days. And was burned again. Then ROTS came along and was one of the most depressing cinema experiences of my life. And then came the GOUT which was the final middle finger to those who loved Star Wars. So from 2005-2008 I pretty much swore off SW.

The only way it became fun for me again was by joining this mad colony in the Jundland Wastes. Who says exile can't be fun?

Star Wars lives in our hearts and minds. Here you may find some physical representation that might bring it back for you.
