I liked the early 90's Classic Star Wars comics, which reprinted and edited the 1981 -1983 Goodwin / Williamson comic strips. They aren't very intellectually stimulating, some of the stories a little over the top, but the art was nice; and they very much had the OT era feel. The stories were not as ridiculous as the Marvel series, probably because they were written for the strip format.

There's some neat stuff about Han and the bounty hunters, Luke spying on the construction of the Executor, an imperial admiral plot to kill Vader, an unlikely discovery of and escape to Hoth, some guy pretending to be Obi Wan, some space pirates and spice mine adventures, and even Jabba makes a brief appearance.

Like pretty much all of the EU, it's totally unnecessary and speculative, taking liberties with situations and characters that don't go over well with everyone, but when I was 12 it was very entertaining and imaginative.
