    Hello everyone,

    I realise that 'Favorite' threads are kind of frowned upon in here, but I thought (fingers crossed) that the Mods might make an exception in this case. I did check the Expanded Universe Community forum, however, they do not have polls currently turned on there.

    Just interested in what people's favorite era is, results could be a good guide as to where LFL / Del Rey should focus their efforts in the future.

    To create discussion, please state WHY the specific era is your favorite.

    It has the greatest room for the imagination to do what it will. The others are just too limiting. The others have some wonderful potential, but only in this era do the events that make Star Wars Star Wars all come out in full force.

    It think it's unfair to put Legacy up there, as it's a currently empty era.

    I put NJO. I just loved it for some reason.

    Well, it would be great if this poll could last a long time, perhaps throughout the Legacy era, so people will have a chance to vote for it later. You can choose to hold off voting now, and on the other hand, I am sure that there will be many more new users in the years ahead who can decide on that era.

    The New Republic era, probably. I've always loved post-ROTJ EU, but I despised the NJO for various reasons, and don't feel at all enthusiastic about Legacy.

    A close second would be the Rebellion era. :)

    From favourite to least is Prequel, Sith, Classic, New Jedi Order, New Republic. Legacy will probably go between New Jedi Order and New Republic.

    Old Republic.

    Anyone who chooses the NJO apparently has no taste for the traditional, mythological, moral relativism-free SW storytelling of yesteryear....

    Blood and carnage all the way I guess.

    If I make fun of NJO as well, could I have one of your Golden Ewoks?

    Nah, I think only Thrawn can give those out. ;)

    Besides, they're my proof to the world that I have the McEwok-class insanity....

    The New Republic stuff. I read all all the books religiously. :D
    NJO ruined the EU for me though. :(

    I voted for Legacy because it has my favorite heroes the big three venturing into unknown territory during the aftermath of the Vong War and the Dark Nest series and it will feature the return of Lumiya and the coming of age of Ben Skywalker.

    Rebellion is fav.
    I also enjoy prequel stuff and New Rebellion.

    NJO is one horrible nightmare that I would rather not relive

    The "Old Republic/Tales of the Jedi/KotOR" time period.

    For obvious reasons. Character jeopardy -- serious character jeopardy, the potential for dangerous drama, you name it.

    It's got everything that the "Rebellion era" don't, right now.

    I pretty much like them all equally besides the NJO. *shudders* I ended up voting for the New Republic, though.

    I voted for the 'Empire' era, as I love the Clone Wars. They are my favorite period in all of SW and as they are in that era, hence the vote. I also just generally like this era, as it has very interesting stories and characters compared to the future eras.

    The Rebellion era has always been my favorite. It's what SW originally was, and the height of the Galactic Civil War.

    I love the beginning of the civil war, the Pre-ANH stuff that we see in X-wing and a handful of other sources. X-wing just had that awesome feeling of desperation yet dedication to the cause. I want to see the formation and early days of the Rebellion, and the Bail/Mothma/Bel Iblis dynamic.
