Star Wars Week: The Extended Universe

[WolfbrotherKronos]

When Disney bought Star Wars, they decided that all of the Extended Universe stuff is no longer canon

 

However, they have continued to allow the novels to be published under the Legends banner.  There are also many games under the Star Wars name.  Do you read or play any of them.  Feel free to share them here.

I'm going to start with the novels that I enjoy.  There are many of them - so I'll only share a few for now

 

I was always interested in the Sith, so that is why I read the Darth Bane Trilogy.  Darth Bane was the Sith Lord that instituted the Rule of Two - the reason why there are only two Sith at a time.

 

A very popular choice is the Thrawn Trilogy - A great set of reads introducing one of the best characters ever - Grand Admiral Thrawn!

 

I recently read "A New Dawn"  This novel is actually considered canon.  I believe it is the first novel made after Disney bought it and it's sort of a precursor to the TV show Rebels.

I LOVED the Thrawn Crisis!  it was fantastic.

 

I also highly recommend the X Wing Series'  Rogue Squadron and then Wraith Squadron

The farthest I've gotten into any sort of "extended universe" is the Clone Wars tv show, and that's only a few sporadic episodes.

 

I want to get into the Old Republic games. I'll admit that I find all of the books a bit daunting :P suggested starting place for that?
