The first one, I mean. The sequel is terrible, over dramatized fanfiction that breaks continuity inbetween TFU and ANH, but I digress.

To me it’s a more sensible and enjoyable adventure than anything in the PT. I don’t really care for the majority of the EU, but the fact that TFU was dissolved from the extended canon in favor of Star Wars Rebels irks me a bit.

Vader’s a menacing, double crossing villan as he should be, pulling the strings from the beginning. Starkiller’s got a great emotional conflict sans the boring factor/melodrama. Proxy’s probably one of my favorite EU characters, and the concept of him being programmed to both obey his master and kill him without feeling conflicted at all is really great to me. All the main characters feel more alive and fleshed-out than anyone in the PT, and we already knew who they were before going into those movies.

Yes, the DLC is terrible, yes the game consists almost entirely of just hitting guys with the lightsaber level after level, but the question remains. I’m not trying to justify my own opinion against the rest, I’m just genuinely curious. I’ve never seen more hatred centralized around a single piece of the EU. What went wrong?

EDIT: In Hindsight the way this is written makes me sound a lot more passionate about this than I really am. It’s a silly little game, I’m just wondering why people seem to lament it’s existence so often
