Looking for recommendations as I’ve just finished Kotor II and have been interested in the Jedi Knigjt series. I’ve seen that Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are both available on Switch but what caught my attention is that Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast comes before Jedi Knight Jedi Academy. Which prompted me to learn there are actually 3 entries in the series before these two titles (their naming conventions were less than consistent I guess).

So I wanted to get the opinions of people who have played these games: where is a good place to start with this series or which entries are considered essential? If I start with Jedi Outcast, will I be missing essential story info or anything?

Thanks for the tips!

The way the consequences of it were written. The way the other characters reacted. God, that sucked. I couldn't keep myself from tearing up. And then Viqi disguises some kid as Anakin? Oh, she deserves to be introduced to the Yuuzhan Vong's "Embrace of Pain".

Obviously, they'd be pissed but what actions (if any) would they take? Would Anakin travel with Luke and Ben? Would Padme quit her job as a senator?

I was watching a video on a rebel Lucrehulk and someone in the comments said they did the math and it could carry 6,400 X-Wings. I know it could carry 1,500 fighters plus it's invasion force but if someone got one, modified it with Tie Hanger Racks and used as much space as they could for fighter storage how many could you fit.

I'm here thinking that if the 6,400 number is correct and with the Tie hanger racks you could double that and one Lucrehulk could carry 12,800 Tie Fighters. The same could apply to the Venator if you modified it with the Tie Hanger racks you could increase the number of Starfighters it carries.

So I've been going through some of the Legends novels on Audible, and I've had a question resurface in my mind.

Why does the New Republic have Generals and Admirals in command of its spaceborn forces?

Because in the Empire, Generals are almost always commanding ground forces.

Also unrelated, but since I was rereading Wraith Squadron, why is Han given command of the fleet to hunt down Zsinj? No disrespect to my favorite smuggler, but what qualifies him to lead a major task force.

I watched a few snippets of Andor and just by looking at the costume design, backdrops.........and Andor's BEARD........I can tell that whoever made was a gigantic fan of the old Jedi Knight games. Andor's hairstyle and beard itself is a lot like Kyle Katarn.

I know that mobile gaming can be, uh, controversial. But as someone who played this game for years, I absolutely adored it. It was super fun, and I managed to reach the highest tiers without spending a cent. It was also really cool to see characters from the comics in it like Doctor Aphra, Evaan Verlaine... etc.

I played this game from launch till the literal final hours. Sadly, it got discontinued. Meanwhile Galaxy of Heroes is somehow still kicking when it's no where near as fun.

After Episode VII came out, the internet was full of incel types complaining about how unrealistic it was for Rey a trained warrior to beat an injured apprentice sith in a lightsaber duel.

But as an EU reader I was already familiar with Nomi Sunrider who was already more skilled than most Jedi masters the first time she picked up a lightsaber.

Nomi is literally the ultimate feminist Mary Sue character. As someone who had already read about her in the EU, Rey and the Sequel Trilogy were nothing in comparison.

So I‘m almost finished with all the Thrawn Trilogies (currently reading Heir of the empire) and I wanted to read the duoligy next.

After looking it up I stumbled over the book „Zorn des Admirals“ (translated from German: Wrath of the Admiral).

My question: is this third book part of the Thrawn Duoligy or is it a separate story? I’m really confused.

Thanks in advance!

I am re-listening to the original Thrawn trilogy, and I am shocked at how many of the prominent EU characters are in those first books. Borsk Feylea (best spelling attempt, I mostly consume the books as audiobooks), Winter, Bel Garm Iblis, Mara Jade, Tallon Karde… I did not totally realize how much these original Zahn characters shaped the rest of the course of the EU.

Why is everyone so mad about The Clone Wars (2008) TV Show contradicting the Republic Commando Novels when… the Republic Commando Novels contradict other books? Namely Order 66 and True Colors contradict Labyrinth of Evil every, like, six pages. Labyrinth of Evil says the end of the war was rushed and not planned explicitly because of the Hunt for Sidious. Order 66 says that Palpatine planned it down to the day? Labyrinth of Evil says that Greivous went to Coruscant from Belderone. Order 66 says that Greivous went to Coruscant from Kashyyyk? What? Why is the most popular series for pointing at being contradicted… even more contradictory?

I'm doing some Christmas shopping.

I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to novels (and comics) in the SW universe. I've only read Darth Bane: Path of Destruction and I enjoyed it. My favourite piece of SW media is KotoR (I love it more than the original movies even).

I've read so much about Thrawn and everyone seems to love him and the stories about him so I thought I'd give it a go but my library only had the 2017 book and not Heir to the Empire. Now, I absolutely loathe Disney, I piss on what they did to the EU and I don't consider anything they have produced (besides Andor) to be canon. But here I am... Since it's actually at least the original writer. Is it worth reading? Or should I just look for the originals instead? Have they aged well?

Oh I also really don't enjoy the SW cartoon shows so I'll never watch Rebels either. It looks terrible to me.
