The Old Republic is so great. I started reading it on Saturday and almost done with Volume 1. I got Vol 2 coming in the mail this week. My next series after Old Republic will be The Empire. That series looks good. The third series I want to read is still up in the air though.
When do they get to the "Knight Errant" stuff?

I've been a big EU kick lately and I wanted to pick these up but holy cats they are expensive! Especially the first one which looks to be going for $100+ on ebay. I never do digital comics but I made an exception in this case, about $34 for the whole KOTOR series on Amazon. Hopefully it'll look good on my ipad.
It's not KOTOR but I finished Dark Empire not too long ago and I thought it was great. I personally preferred that as a follow up to ROTJ instead of what we got. I still need to read the sequel. I'll have to check out the KOTOR books though, not much in the way of new content currently.
The sequels to DARK EMPIRE aren't that great, pretty much they have to mop up a lot of stuff to make way for Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy. There was also a planned tie-in graphic novel for II which got dropped that would've helped with some of the background for II. Empire's End (The 2-part finale) seems especially rushed and doesn't feature Cam Kennedy's work, but that of a sort of 1970's style comic with Dark Empire's weird colors. Doesn't really work......
What's perhaps most noteable about II is that it states Boba Fett has a connection to the Stormtroopers, which is kind of interesting considering his eventual origin story.
Crimson Empire is pretty good. It's a sort of semi-sequel dealing with the Emperor's royal guards. It also sets up aspects of the New Jedi Order novels.

I feel like the critical consensus on Dark Empire has turned maybe not negative over the years, but it is no longer a must-read EU story like (say) the Thrawn novels still are. People were using it to dunk on TROS but in a "lol you guys made something as dumb as Dark Empire" way as opposed to a "skip TROS, read Dark Empire" way.
I haven't read it in years--not even sure I have my copies anymore in my bloated mess of a collection--but I chiefly remember being blown away by the art.
