[QUOTE="cybertalus, post: 1936564, member: 4400"] I liked the original trilogy, ewoks and all (but I have a high tolerance for cute). I haven't cared for the prequel trilogy at all. The books, comics, and games I've liked to varying degrees. Games seem to fare better for me than anything else. I still drag out the Win98 remake of 1993's [i]X-Wing[/i] every once in a while to blow of some steam by blowing up TIE fighters in my A-Wing. I also get a lot of replayability out of the Kyle Katarn games. Knights of the Old Republic was fun (and is the reason I now own SW d20), but not a game I've so far wanted to play more than once. My least favorite non-movie product would be that comic book series where the Emperor comes back as a clone and Luke intentionally turns to the Dark Side because of some stupid idea about trying to defeat the Dark Side from the inside. Not even Splinter of the Mind's Eye was that bad. Though I haven't read any of the much-maligned Yuzhon Vong books yet, so my personal least favorite could change. I also didn't care for Tatooine Ghost, as it seemed to try too hard to be yet another bridge between the two movie trilogies. If there's anything in broad terms that bothers me about Star Wars it's the way the Expanded Universe has led to the original Trilogy heroes lingering past their act of great heroism which transformed the world. The Knights of the Round Table, the Fellowship of the Ring, and probably a few others that people can name did their great epic deeds, changed the world, and then died, retired, or went off to some mystical place. The heroes of Star Wars keep hanging around, racking up a resume of heroism that threatens to encroach on that of long-running comic book superheroes. [/QUOTE]
