    I cut off at 1999 because that’s when The Phantom Menace came out. I still enjoy what that following era of the EU became, but TPM completely transformed the shape of the Star Wars EU. While the pre- and post- TPM EU is still officially the same continuity, the texture was so changed that you can easily treat them as two different visions of Star Wars.

      Oh yeah, I totally understood why you chose to cut it off there. I’m just okay with a few more years of subsequent content.

        I appreciate that following of EU as well, which actually lasted longer the “old” era, with the new spanning from 1999 to 2014. It’s still good, just different.
