That means we experience loss almost as much as Rogue Squadron does.
#Star Wars Jedi Academy Single Player Crack series#
More than that, Stackpole takes these missions and their stakes deadly seriously, allowing this series to finally function as a raw and real war story, set against the immense backdrop of Star Wars in general. While centered around Wedge as the “lead”, the rest of the cast, all ace pilots from across the franchise, all get plenty of time in the spotlight, growing together as a team and experiencing the epic highs and lows of a life on the edge. Set only two and a half years after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star, the X-Wing series finds Rebellion hero pilot turned New Republic General, Wedge Antillies, building a brand new Rogue Squadron the legendary fighter wing that took down the first Death Star and provided the fledgling Rebellion with some of its first victories.īut while the logline of the series portends high adventure and blazing set pieces, the X-Wing series delivers much more than just thrills and heroics. Stackpole’s intensely readable X-Wing series! For my money, one of the few aspects of the Legends EU canon that still holds the fuck up. So we are gonna start with one of the more obvious picks, but one that merits discussion all the same. So gather up that Calamari Flan and take a seat at the cantina as we bring you A Spotter’s Guide to the Legends EU! And too horny to be placed anywhere else in the main canon. So in honor of the GateCrashers Star Wars Celebration (no, not that one), the wise and powerful Jedi Council of GC decided we should talk about our favorite Old EU works! The stories that were too big for movies.

The name given to the now-defunct chunk of history that started narratively post-Return of the Jedi which used to sustain us ravenous nerds once we had ruined our VHS tapes of the Special Editions, roving out in search of more love and lightsabers. The most famous of these timelines being the “Legends Expanded Universe”. Branching off into multiple timelines that wove themselves throughout and between the movies into books, video games, and short-form narratives. The franchise’s genre-hopping has also spanned over multiple “time periods” throughout the storied history of the Jedi, Skywalkers, and Republic. While we anxiously await the day that there can be Star Peace, this sprawling franchise has encompassed numerous genres beyond the realms and narratives of space opera. A thing we all love and can totally agree on amicably!
