Republic Heroes Video Game

A bit of a lack lustre game here, considering it used the same game engine as the Force Unleashed this really should have been a lot better. The main focus of the game is co-op play which is certainly fun but by no means enough to make up for the ultimately boring gameplay. In terms of plot the game is passable but really doesn't add very much at all to the universe other than the new bounty hunter Kul Teska.

EU: Splinter of the Mind's Eye


This is the birth of the Expanded Universe right here. This book originally came out in 1978 as the plot to a potential follow up to the original movie, at the time they had no idea how successful Star Wars was going to prove to be and this book assumed only a modest budget would be available for the next Star Wars film, so much so that the story doesn't even feature Han Solo as Harrison Ford was not guaranteed to be back. A great little story however that feels much more simplistic and light hearted than most EU and a very familiar feel to the original movie. Note this book is so early that it doesn't even say Star Wars anywhere on the cover.
