Obviously Legends due to being made in 1996 before the Disney buyout. Shamblers now speak Huttese and can't use the force.

Admittedly, I liked them when I was younger. The Phantom Menace was a bit too early for me, I remember seeing the toys in stores but not really knowing what Star Wars was. It wasn't until Attack of the Clones that I got into Star Wars, I started getting the toys like crazy and playing the various games. At that point I loved Star Wars, particularly the new trilogy. Revenge of the Sith was quite memorable indeed, I went to the theater for that one, plus I collected the various Burger King figurines including the extremely limited Darth Vader. At the time I had a huge craze for Star Wars, but didn't get involved much in the EU because I couldn't get to any book stores or know any way to access the materials. I think I read some stuff on Wookiepedia to try to fix that, but it wasn't the best. Regardless, I loved the movies and the games. I was around when the Star Wars Clone Wars movie came out, I wasn't a big fan of that one, I felt it had too many baby jokes and just didn't have the same magic as the main movies. The tv show luckily was better, I saw the first season and would try to catch every new episode. This was the point where I started introducing my cats to Star Wars, which in turn started limiting me. I remember not wanting them to see Empire Strikes Back until we had gotten through wookiepedia summaries of Marvel Star Wars, only to have my mother watch it and thus spoil it for them. It was a moment of severe betrayal. Since then I have essentially limited myself, meaning I haven't seen the prequels in nearly a decade, but hope to work my way to see them again.

Polis Massa, that one was always forgettable for me. Geonosis on the other hand, I loved the BF1 version. As much as I wanted BF2, I think I ended up playing BF1 a lot more over the years.

Rhen Var is indeed a great map. The ice caves one isn't bad at all either, I love the onslaught that can happen in those tunnels. I never really played Galactic Conquest, I just did a lot of freeform games or the campaign mode.

That is indeed a major flaw. Luckily it is protected by a shield generator on a planet filled with savage teddy bears that will sell a lot of products.

The FMV scenes were the ones I never experienced.

Perhaps, we shall see when I continue along. That story was a two page blurb, possibly in Galaxy Guide 3.

It at least keeps your mind off the hurricanes. :P

Actually, Bothan spies weren't once mentioned in the entirety of the book. It is more about 23ers that survive 20 missions without dying and intelligence agents such as maids that even Mon Mothma don't know about. The Rebel Alliance Sourcebook is a weird book, it is written by a historian in the Alliance after the Battle of Yavin. Somehow, publishing highly classified information in a history book, stuff that even the leader of the Alliance didn't know but this random historian does, sounds like a bad idea.

Well, the book doesn't imply either way. It could be another bounty hunter from Ord Mantell. The one in the newspaper strip was more blatantly defined as such.

Trust me, there are a lot of stories in the EU, side character stories tend to be the better. It is at least better than "Darth Vader permits himself to get framed for murder so that he can steal jewels from Alderaan". Or how about a guy talking about diabetes living on Endor while evading capture by a woman who can turn into a crow? Or how about that time when Princess Leia died and stormtroopers were sent thousands of years into the past (this story was written for the sole purpose of explaining why Princess Leia had an injured leg in an earlier story)? Or how about the several times we left the Star Wars galaxy to find some dimension with organic ships? Or that one which was essentially John Carter From Mars with Leia and Stormtroopers thrown in for some reason, including a narration by a warrior not unlike Conan? Or how about that episode of Star Wars where R2-D2 and C-3PO kidnap a child, fly through time and space, and end up hanging out with the Ewoks a while before Return of the Jedi? Or the entirety of Star Wars Ewoks, where you get an amazing episode focusing on soap and another focusing on a giant sparkling. Or the times one of the characters got separated and stranded on a medieval world? Or the one where a little furry creature got horny for Princess Leia, entered puberty early, and started mauling everyone? Or how about the one where Star Wars met the cast of Captain Planet? Or the one where there was a monkey with an exposed skull that provoked an issue entirely inside Luke's mind?

Did I mention the Star Wars EU can be insane?
