I also liked Thrawn. He was awesome.
>tfw they're still canon, but just with a disney make-over.
Battlefronts 2 following the 501st from clones troopers to Vader's fist.

>Finn is Kyle just because he's an ex-stormtrooper
yeah, except Kyle is an actual Force sensitive and not a red herring.
>>63626834
This. Battlefront 2's story was pretty good even though it only had like one character.
>>63626839
Truly the greatest loss in the EU.
Sadly, breasts just aren't canon anymore.
kotor 2.
>>63626873
This, it is probably the greatest loss in sstar wars history

Goddamned right.
>Norba Nuum was the daughter of Cabrool Nuum and the sister of Rusk Nuum. Although she seemed to be quiet and reserved alongside her brother, Norba was in fact the most ambitious of Cabrool's children. When Rusk had Jabba Desilijic Tiure locked in the dungeon for refusing to kill family enemy Vu Chusker, Norba freed him on the condition that he kill her brother for her, thereby making her the sole heir to the Nuum family's criminal empire. However after Jabba killed Rusk, Norba betrayed him, ordering her guards to take Jabba back to the dungeon for murdering her brother.
>Later, Norba came down to Jabba's cell and offered to set him free if he promised to kill Vu Chusker, even showing him the key that would unlock the door of the cell. Sick and tired of this back and forth business, Jabba told Norba he would whisper his answer to her. When Norba leaned in close to listen, Jabba's tongue snaked out and grabbed Norba, pulling her through the window in the cell door and into his mouth. He proceeded to eat her alive, and she was powerless to do anything to stop him. After a valiant but brief struggle, Norba vanished into Jabba's maw, her quest for power and riches never to be fulfilled. In her final moments as her mouth filled with Jabba's slime and her nose with the stench of Jabba's rancid breath, she dropped the key right into Jabba's hand, allowing the Hutt to escape the dungeon. She was the last of the Nuum House to be killed, after her father and brother.

As far as I'm concerned, either the Thrawn trilogy or Dark Empire are the real Episode 7-9
Abrams fan film will have to do a heck a lot to make me praise it
>>63627225
Hear hear, brother.

Really, let's be real, anything Abrams can think of, the EU probably already came up with and did it better years ago.
Shit, Dark Empire, like it or hate it, flows almost perfectly from Episode VI
>We thought Sheev was dead, but it obviously wasn't going to be that easy
>story focuses chiefly on Luke and Leia and the Skywalker clan's relationship with Sheev
>Luke gets a new qt apprentice waifu
>Leia discovering her force powers and becoming a Jedi
>Sheev threatening her unborn child
>Ancient Tree creature Jedi on lost Jedi world ("How long has it been since I felt another Jedi's presence! *sob")
>Boba: You thought the Sarlaac had me, didn't you Solo? KEKEKEKEK"
>Luke's first waifu dies
>Luke temporarily goes dark side
>Luke's kickass cloak
>More Clone tech, but this time mixed with Dark Side magic, stopping the Sheev clones gives a nice resolution to all the clone shit that began decades ago.
I'm not saying I expected them to ever adapt anything from the EU, I just can't see how Abrams can think of anything better without just copying EU stuff himself.
Original blueberry waifu.
Yes I know she was made canon but she was EU first so, yeah.
>>63627632
People really gloss over all the cool shit from that storyline. They just parrot the "LOL SHEEV HAD CLONES, JUST TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF" meme.
>>63627774
I just remember checking out copies of the trades from my local library when I was a kid and being fascinated by it. Sure, even as a kid I was always like "ehhhhh" at the whole "PALPS HAD A BATCH OF CLONES READY" but especially when you look at it now within the context of all the Clone Wars stuff and the Legends backstory for Sheev as Plagueis' apprentice, again, it feels like a good resolution to the Clone saga itself while and it makes sense for Sheev to have thought of using the clone tech for some crazy experiments to cheat death. And as a kid, that cringe at Palps having some convoluted way of being alive was overcome by almost everything else.
And I don't see how Abrams' personal OC Donut Steel Trilogy is going to be able to top it or Thrawn and Jorus the Mad Jedi Clone
>>63626984
holy shit this is real. I never truly understood the insanity of wookiepedia until just now.
