Born Sinner
Not a political thread- we're talking about the extended universe here.
For me personally, I know I'll get flak for this- but Sith Magic and Sith alchemy are lame. They're lame and clearly written in some instances for the writer to have a more fantasy-esque setting in their novel/comic than the Space Opera that Star Wars is. While the Force definitely does some mystical things- I think that in Star Wars, having a magical amulet than can destroy worlds or corrupt minds just seems a little bit like a certain ring, rather than a Jedi's struggle against their inner self and resisting the temptation of power through discipline and focus (as in the intent of the original trilogies, in the opinion of this guy).
Another thing is the constant reshifting of the origin of things- the Sith, the Jedi. I'm not a fan of the idea that the Sith were originally a species, for example.
And also the cloning/life/rebirth/constant reviving/souls in armor/seems also very lame and not very cool, in my opinion. Just my opinion, however.
That and the Republic Commando didn't get a game sequel is a damn crime.
What things do you not like personally like about the EU- and why?
Edited:
Now clarified about Legends.
