Legacy of The Force was a great series, Bloodlines & Revelation really pushed the series into my top 5 EU series. How you’d like the first book?
Rereading the X-Wing series right now, haven’t read it over a decade. On the Wraith Squadron book currently. Could’ve been a phenomenal show is someone had accurately adapted the series. That goes for a lot of the EU books, like Kenobi, but they just had to bait & switch and turn into a large scale galactic level adventure, instead of making the more personal ground level story it needed to be. SMH
A Rogue Squadron/Wraith Squadron movie or miniseries would have been a lot of fun in 2007 and would be some of the most cringeworthy shit imaginable in 2023. A Thrawn trilogy starring Jeffery Combs (played several Star Trek characters including Brunt, Weyoun, and Shran) as Thrawn and Liam Cunningham (played Davos Seaworth on Game of Thrones) as Pellaeon would have been incredible too.
Oh man, I can't remember much about the Wraiths other than loving those books. They were great. They weren't just pilots, they were specialists. They weren't superhuman.
Definitely better written than the Rogue Squadron books, though those were nothing to scoff at either. Too bad that author went straight into Gary Stu territory later on with Corran Horn in "I, Jedi." I'd considered Corran one of my favorites, but the more I think about that novel, the more frustrated I get.
I loved the first book and even though I know the spoilers I’m still interested in reading them. But I’ve got a lot of the old republic stuff to catch up on as well. I remember when I heard about Disney’s Kenobi show and was thinking that it was clear cut an agenda because it sounded like they just wanted to have women overshadow Kenobi. The legends book should’ve been the template for the show.

Jeffery Combs already played a blue skinned combat master, pink skin.
Ah, fuck, another fantastic thing that could have happened that Disney has ruined.

Also if you haven’t read them the Han Solo trilogy is good along with Lando’s Trilogy
