THE FORCE SURROUNDS US AND PENETRATES US. IT BINDS THE WHOLE GALAXY TOGETHER: On this Star Wars Day (marked this year with the announcement of a 9 disk Blu-Ray set that will gather seemingly everything short of the Holiday Special), let's discuss an interesting question--what has worked in the Star Wars universe beyond the three original films? I'll offer up a couple of obvious suggestions--the Zahn/Thrawn trilogy of novels was quite good, even if the further "Expanded Universe" in that direction has apparently gotten increasingly unhinged, and Knights of the Old Republic was quite excellent, even if BioWare has gone back to that basic well one too many times (seriously, both Dragon Age and Mass Effect feel like KOTOR with a new skin/backstory).
