Where to start…? I grew up with the Star Wars video games like Shadows of the Empire, Rebel Assault 2, Jedi Knight (live action cutscenes were amazing to me), to Jedi Outcast, KOTOR, original Clone Wars to Force Unleashed. I enjoyed just about all of it honestly.
I currently own about 130 EU novels. I’m sure I’ll never get through all of them. I love the X-wing series, Shadows of the Empire, Republic Commando, I even enjoyed most of Fate of the Jedi. Haven’t read NJO or LOTF, but I plan to. I’ve even started scratch building a 31inch model of Darth Caedus’ flag ship Anakin Solo.
My favourite character from all EU would have to be Ulic Qel-Droma. I first heard of him from the Clone Wars game. Pretty cool seeing this old Force Ghost helping you defeat this ancient Sith weapon. I’ve gone back and read most of the comics, though I have to admit they’re not the best written. Lots of cheese. But I still like that era and those characters.
More recently I’ve grown really attached to Ben Skywalker through the FOTJ stuff. Which only pisses me off more knowing that we will never get more official material of him or Jaina, etc.
I’m sure I missed something. But that’s a start.
