If they had made the sequels first instead of the prequels, it might have worked.let's see, TPM came out in 1999. Well I think the reason why they didn't use Heir or even Dark Empire is that the actors are all too old. I still think his ^ original trilogy ( 'Heir To The Empire', 'Dark Force Rising', 'The Last Command' ) would've been far more interesting & layered than what we eventually got with Ep. I've been reading Dark Empire and the Star Wars Legacy comic for the first time, and the best thing I can say about them is that they would have been marginally better sequels compared to the ones we got, but compared to like, Fate of the Jedi or even the Legacy novel series they were dreadful. I'd say at least 50% of Legends was shlocky garbage. To be fair, I also hated Revan and all the Old Republic books that were written before EU became Legends. Of all the new canon stuff, Bad Batch comes closest to Traviss' characterization of the clones there's a weird disconnect when I watch stuff like Rebels and can't get over old Rex saluting Kanan and Ezra, I keep thinking "they're Jedi! They enslaved you! You should resent them!" Bad Batch also shows the Kaminoans much closer to how they're depicted in Traviss' books as a culture of unfeeling mad scientists who treat the clones as products. Crispin's Han Solo Trilogy, Timothy Zahn, Matt Stover, Aaron Allston, Karen Traviss etc. I find most of the new canon books, including High Republic, very dull, and I'd rather just reread Brian Daley's A. They didn't include stuff like Force Storms or hey where did those gigantic floating pyramids go? Nope let's just forget all that happened. I'm so glad the original writers never came out and directly explained the flesh raiders, there's not a lot of linkage between the Tython lore and that era which is a blessing. The comic is really bad! I'm thankful that I can still play through Tython on Jedi characters without thinking about all the dumb stuff about Tython from that era. It's mystifying that of all the EU, what they chose to save was this game era (apparently? I thought this had been ruled as Legends ages ago smh) and the Dawn of the Jedi era. I read Tim Lebbon's book a long time ago and, although it wasn't very good, was sufficiently curious from wookieepedia articles to check out the comic. TCW did a great job making the prequels not suck as much, and Mandalorian is now doing the same heavy lifting for the sequels to explain the rise of the first order and "somehow.Palpatine returned." It's funny to me that whereas the purpose of the original EU was mostly to tell new stories about the original trilogy characters and their descendants, the purpose of the new canon is mostly to explain how all the dumb stuff from the prequels and sequels actually makes sense. Lol I was actually planning to start a thread about this, although I was going to call it I hate the new Star Wars canon The New Jedi Order- 15 years after Epi 9 where Rey rebuilds the Jedi. The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, Thrawn ("Heir to the Empire") aka Filoniverse. The New Republic-End of ROTJ until the reveal of the First Order. Bad Batch, Solo, Kenobi, Andor, Rebels, Rogue One. Reign of the Empire-End of ROTS until ANH. The Fall of the Jedi-Basically the Prequels, TCW, The fall of Anakin Skywalker and order 66.
