To All The Star Wars Fans Out There...

KOTOR.

Also, EU > the movies > Holiday Special > TCW

This.

And, KotOR II should be up there. I mean, it's quite underrated.......

If I said the Force Unleashed how much hate would I get?

100% from me.

The KOTOR games and basically anything within the EU (excluding the Force Unleashed).

@CaioTrubat: Aside from the Republic Commando novels and most of her work on the Mandalorians, I've yet to see her write anything good. Or decent, for that matter. She killed off a major character (Mara Jade) for what appeared to be shock value, and pretty much threw a fit when fans attacked her for it. Instead of handling it well, she attacked back, calling star wars fans names and refusing to admit that she'd made any mistakes.

Overall, she's just not a good writer.

@PsychoKnights: Haven't touched TOR myself. Only played KOTOR I and II.

Same with me. My brother played TOR, and he said it was pretty good.

Caio, I read part of one of the Republic Commando books, and I didn't find it very engaging. I have not read the book where she killed off Mara Jade, but I did read other books later in the series, and it did not bug me to see her gone.

Alot of the Expanded universe is good.

My favourite part of the Star Wars timeline is the 19 years between the revenge of the sith and a new hope.

@PsychoKnights: The thing is I am not really interested on SW books in general. I only asked ZombieBigfoot why her hatedom is so huge and now I see why. Though its a shame Mara had to die, I wasn't really invested on her character to be upset about it. But thanks for the recommendation anyway :)

I had a feeling Mara Jade would not last long. I'm not sure it was a good decision, but I can see why they did it. Luke has almost always been the main protagonist of the Star Wars universe, and historically, the lead character is almost always single. I was glad that they did not kill Mara Jade off immediately after Luke and Mara got married because that would be cheap, but they got a good ten years together.

@JediXMan: That from my personal experience; her good work extends to Republic Commandos, the Mandalorian culture/language, and stops there.

Anything is... stretching it.

I suppose. I liked her contribution to LotF. The major problem that I had was Denning in that series.

KOTOR

Outlander

Jedi Council: Acts of War

Darth Maul (Black Sun)

Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire

Bounty Hunter

Tales of The Jedi

Demolition

& So many more I could list, but I'm about to fall asleep.

@JediXMan: Very true, hence why I said basically anything ;)

I guess I'm a little more lenient towards Traviss above all else when concerning the Republic Commando novels but the LoTF is pushing it.

@Jonny_Anonymous: Darth Vader: Ghost Prison is fantastic and it's only on it's 4th issue. I highly recommend that as with the Death Sentence series revolving around Maul. Tales of the Jedi was fantastic and a must read. Are you interested in just comics or are you willing to expand into novels?

Silver would kill me, but I really liked Sacrifice.

@Jonny_Anonymous: The Thrawn trilogy is a brilliant place to start in the EU novels. The Old Republic is interesting if the MMO caught your attention. The Darth Bane trilogy is also a must read especially f you're interested in the Sith and it sets up the rule of two.

@Deranged Midget: Congrats on becoming a mod dude.

@JediXMan: For what it was following, it was surprisingly good.

@Jonny_Anonymous: They appear in I, Jedi and The New Jedi Order: Edge of Victory: Rebirth.

@Jonny_Anonymous: I think you should know why. KotOR is most certainly not a book.

@Jonny_Anonymous: You mean comics. There is no novel on KotOR, but on TOR, yes, there are. You might be confused because there is a novel about Revan (KotOR protagonist) in TOR.

As for TFU, you should know how appalling it is.

@Jonny_Anonymous: What game? KOTOR? Or TOR? I've not seen so much KOTOR hate, more obsession. Revan is overrated so badly; he is nowhere near as powerful as people make him out to be.

@Jonny_Anonymous: Oh. Well, it should be. It should never have existed.

@Jonny_Anonymous: Well, the storyline was horrendous, for one. But is also destroys canon continuity.

@Jonny_Anonymous: I'd recommend them, yes.

The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett, by Daniel Keys Moran, from the Tales of the Bounty Hunters anthology. The best Boba Fett story ever written.

The original Star Wars audiodrama from NPR is also brilliant.

Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina

The Clone Wars cartoon has its moments.

I LOVED the Force Unleashed series. It was simply fun as hell.

@Jonny_Anonymous: Well, the storyline was horrendous, for one. But is also destroys canon continuity.

Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader

Also @Jonny_Anonymous: For the Force Unleashed, no hate whatsoever.

What parts messed with the continuity?

Well, for one, it made it so that Galen essentially formed the Rebellion - screwing continuity. It also shows Bail and others actually seeing the Death Star for themselves.

I liked KOTOR. Course, I get the drift it's hated around here...

i like kotor as well. im playing sw: tor on the pc and i like it

Also, KOTOR II with cut content > original KOTOR (and possibly without the cut content. I love KOTOR II)

dun dun dun dun duuuuun! dun dun dun dun!

@JediXMan said:

Definitely.

@Jonny_Anonymous: Don't worry I liked TFU as well lol, the first one's story actually made sense and actually went with the continuity IMO. However I think the second game's story didn't make much sense and kind of ruined it with the whole cloned Galen Marek thing.
