So earlier today a friend and I spent a couple of hours at the public library browsing through the science fiction section when we came across the Old Republic and Thrawn trilogy books. It sparked a discussion between us about how while the old EU may have had a lot of bad content (I'm looking at you, Luuke), there were some great stories, characters, and concepts that were lost after Disney de-canonized the old EU.
For instance, the original Thrawn trilogy is famous for helping reviving public interest in Star Wars after almost a decade since the release of ROTJ. In fact, the revival may have been the catalyst for George Lucas moving ahead with the Prequel Trilogy (If you believe Timothy Zahn's annotations). And Thrawn and the Chiss are so popular they got brought back in Rebels.
Another fan favorite, the Old Republic era books and games, is possibly in development as a new trilogy. This shows that the old EU still has a lot of appeal.
I remember a thread in the old site asking users to list the most ridiculous aspects of the old EU, but I want something more positive for a change. So ERA, what aspects of the old Star Wars EU did you like/love and wish were brought back?
