Hi, this is the first of your videos that I've stumbled upon, and I really enjoyed the message! I, like many have some "anxiety," as you put it, about whether X upcoming Star Wars story will be any good. But from what I've seen and heard in online discourse, I don't think I feel as intensely disappointed, angry, or even sometimes apathetic as many others do. When I see online comments that pronounce Star Wars dead in reaction to whatever the latest thing is, I sort of roll my eyes since we have over 45 years' worth of stories that generally are still accessible. Though I'm on the younger side and therefore have been discovering many of the pre-Disney EU stories for the first time in the last few years. Perhaps many of these people already read, watched, or played these stories when they came out, so they don't have the same novelty that they do for me, which makes it extra painful when the stories that should be novel end up being lackluster. On another note, it's so cool to hear someone talking more in-depth about individual an individual aspect of Legacy of the Force. I read that series last year, and really enjoyed it! Don't worry, it wasn't the first EU series I read. 😅 I read the Thrawn trilogy before LotF. Speaking of which, one of the concepts from that series, (specifically The Last Command) that I seems like someone of your background would have interesting things to say about it when Joruus C'baoth begins going all-out with his mind domination techniques. It was a year or two since I read it but the chapter about an Imperial Army officer's mind being controlled by and becoming dependent on the Dark Jedi was really interesting to me, in a creepy way of course. Related to that, I think in the first book Thrawn and C'baoth discuss their respective interpretations of "power" which was interesting. Do you plan on discussing any of these concepts?
I definitely will, especially the conceptions of power in the Thrawn trilogy, as well as Luke's self-doubt that leads him to being tricked by C'baoth. First though in this series I'll probably be talking about my favourite EU book, "I, Jedi" for a few videos, then probably a few things from the New Jedi Order series.

It (Legacy of the Force) has straight space witches...one of whom gets murdered in very significant plot development.
