Meanwhile anyone asking for Mara Jade (and I mean the two that are left) are quietly taken out back behind the chemical sheds and shot. Then again, from what I'm hearing of Mickey's Luke, he's not worthy enough to even breathe in her general direction. Here's your Disney Mara. [snip]

BTW two points I'd missed (not paid attention) in the past but I recognized after watching Episode III (beside the Windu's ability).
- Yoda tells Obi Wan about the power to communicate with ghost Qui-Gon
- Yoda thinking about the prophesy of a strong Jedi bringing balance to the force can be misinterpreted.
The first is very cool. Probably one of the main focuses in the Kenobi movie. About the 2nd, either the prophesy was misinterpreted or was deliberately manipulated or inserted by dark jedi (siths).

About the 2nd, either the prophesy was misinterpreted or was deliberately manipulated or inserted by dark jedi (siths). In the end he pretty much did fulfill the prophecy, just not in the way they (the Jedi Council) wanted him to. Most of that is really their own fault though.

Was old eu always that weird? No, that was never canon. Even the Infinities stories never got that weird (though Darth Vader in white armor was pretty strange)

Well, I'd never heard of this Han Solo,-Indiana Jones crossover. But the comics had the "Infinities" line, which were kind of like DC's Elseworlds and Marvel's What If? stories. They took a (minor) event from one of the movies, changed it, and took the story in an entirely different direction from there. There were three of them: A New Hope
What if Luke's torpedo detonated prematurely and failed to destroy the Death Star? The Empire Strikes Back
What if Han Solo's tauntaun had died earlier on Hoth and Luke ended up freezing to death? Return of the JediWhat if Threepio was not available to translate between Jabba and Boushh/Leia, and a fight broke out?

I finished the Thrawn Trilogy the other day. As a whole, I thoroughly enjoyed it. For my first real introduction into the old EU, I'm left looking forward to reading some more.

Was it difficult to determine what was canon and what was not? Not really. There were tiers of canon in a hierarchy but that's about it. G- Lucas Canon, basically the movies. At any point he could overwrite anything else and pretty much do what he wanted. T- The Clone Wars GCI cartoon for some reason C- Everything else, mostly consistent with the above (i.e. teh novels, games (story, not gameplay, obviously), some comics) S- Secondary stuff that didn't fit with the timeline and was mostly ignored though some elements could be referenced and thus those elements alone were canon N- non-canon. Source: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Legends#Official_levels_of_canonSo ignoring the bottom two as they were rarely an issue, it's more or less what Mickey's doing, except with no Lucas, there's no need for a hierarchy or to provision for massive retcons. Which again makes what they did to the EU pants on head retarded. I finished the Thrawn Trilogy the other day. As a whole, I thoroughly enjoyed it. For my first real introduction into the old EU, I'm left looking forward to reading some more. Fair warning, while the EU is awesome and better than Disney in every way, you may experience a noticeable drop in quality if you go from Zahn to another writer, particularly in the post Jedi era. I'd go straight to Hand of Thrawn and then Survivor's Quest and then maybe check out some Old Republic stuff like the Bane trilogy, or Outbound Flight (more Thrawn, more Zahn). You'll be skipping some stuff Hand of Thrawn will reference but you can mostly take it in stride. Whatever you do don't go straight to Vector Prime (start of Vong stuff).

Zahn is the best of the old EU writers. But there were others that were pretty good. I also liked Kevin J Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy (where Luke starts teaching new students on Yavin IV, also ties in to the Great Sith War from the Tales of the Jedi comic. Also Michael Stackpole's Rogue Squadron series. Notable in that there is minimal Jedi or Sith presence in it.
