There should be a specific separate canon for all Star Wars 1D products. And the first thing to offer should be the SW Droids – Collector’s Edition!

Heh, for me the whole Jabba’s palace episode was mostly tedious. I was eagerly waiting for the heroes to leave the planet, so that the real story can finally begin. But then the Endor arc could also get a little slow at times, so it was around the time the space battle begins that I can really start enjoying RotJ.

Yeah, similar situation here – except that downloading was not an option either, so for many years new games often came on shady CD collections. Ripped versions, often with lots of missing stuff. Some of them riddled with bugs to the point of utter & all-consuming despair. But then again, there were no alternatives, this was the best we could do. I often exchanged these CDs with classmates – physical exchange was the only way to do it before the age of downloads.

I don’t know if SW toys were ever sold in Bulgaria during my childhood. I guess not… or there may have been toys, but merely cheap imitations of the real stuff, hastily assembled in someone’s garage. So the only SW merchandise I could enjoy were the video games… Super Star Wars in the early days; Jedi Knight, Dark Forces, Rogue Squadron and (of course) Yoda Stories later on.

I think you’re right about the BF balance – when you get all the perks, BF2 can suddenly become pretty easy (you become noticeably more resilient and more damaging that the enemy’s troops). If there is one BF2 feature that I really appreciate, it’s the sprinting – walking at the same pace all the time can get a little annoying on larger maps. I also like the way you build up your forces in the Galactic conquest mode and consider this an improvement over BF1’s conquest mode.

Good thing we don’t have hurricanes around here… probably because Orthodox Jesus is a nicer guy :P

I’m glad the EU material in games is tolerable (with the possible exception of the conflicting Death Star plans theft stories), so I could enjoy them without wondering how something fits into the overall lore. I first heard of Thrawn in a game and thought he only appeared there. It was quite later that I realized he was a greater-scope character with a significant place in the EU. Currently, he is canon again, by the way.

I watched The Clone Wars series a few years ago and liked them – they really improved upon Anakin’s character and added a little more depth to the Separatists. I’m currently watching ‘’Rebels’’ and enjoying it quite a lot – I definitely recommend it.
