@Arkandel said in Good or New Movies Review:

Look, there's a reason the Thrawn books were wildly acclaimed among the fanbase. Not everything in the EU was (a whole lot of it was uninspired shit) but the spirit of the original movies was perfectly captured in them, and the tale was incredibly enjoyable because of it.

I love the first three Thrawn books, but when you set aside how well-written they are, in spirit, they're fanfic filled with Zahn's trademark political intrigue, eidetic memory characters, devoted retainer characters, and logic puzzles with slightly inductive answers. I don't think it's fair to say they weren't leaving his mark on the property, especially since at least one of the characters has been folded into the rebooted franchise.
