So with all the new materials, shows, books, comics, all the fan edits out there, everying, canon or not, I am really curious about what’s everyone’s new way of watching and enjoying the Star Wars universe?
Ep III, R1, despecialized IV and V are my movie trilogy.
KOTOR, Bane trilogy, Plagueis, TCW and Andor are essential canon.
Death Troopers is a special thing.
Everything else is just extra at best.
My favorite Star Wars would be:
- Original (un-edited) trilogy. Although I like most of the special edition changes to Empire Strikes Back.
- The Shadow of the Empire novel
- The Thrawn trilogy of novels by Timothy Zahn
- Mandalorian S2, last episode w/ Jedi Master Luke on display
- Andor for showing that ‘mature Star Wars’ can be done and well executed
- Honorable mentions to Clone Wars and Rebels for having some good content as well
The classic trilogy is my favorite, but I realy like the EU Thrawn Trilogy as well. It was really important to know the EU when I was looking for more Star Wars, in those days we didn’t have so many content avaliable.
Star wars is sort of like Taylor Swift. Even if I don’t seek it out I end up catching 5m of an episode of that newer kids show. Or a video game trailer.
