Luke Skywalker had a weird wife named Mara Jade who was a femme fatal ex-Sith assassin with a purple lightsaber. Chewbacca died at the age of 225 years old when Star Wars’ Aldi brand Borg dropped a moon on him. The Death Star plans were not stolen by a ragtag bunch of rebel soldiers that included beloved martial arts leading man Donnie Yen, but rather a dadish guy in a Henley who looks like he’s heading to the last farmer’s market of the season on a brisk Sunday in the fall.
Yes, the old Starr Wars Expanded Universe was a bit of an odd duck, and you can maybe see why Disney shunted it to the side in favor of a new continuity. All the same, that astounding (non) canon of books, comics, and especially games still has a stranglehold on my psyche, and it’s always heartening to see its more funky outgrowths still get some love. Enter Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith Remastered by a modding team led by General Tantor on ModDB, which recently got a big 3.0 update
It was canon back then.
OUT! OUT!!
Yeah, that was a hilarious bit. But the expanded universe had his blessing. She also appeared in games made by Lucasfilm.
I loved JK:MOTS & JK:DFII, they made my childhood.
DF2 was the first game I played online. I still have some friends I met doing that.
edit: Corrected a word.
Same! One who I just sent this article. IIRC he had MOTS, burned it on CD, and mailed it to me in another state so we could keep playing online. Good times.
