All the same: I like Timothy Zahn, even if he's pretty overrated as far as story writers go for both the old Legends and the new EU novels.
Frankly, I prefer James Luceno and, barring him, Matthew Stover.

With Admiral Thrawn in the new Star Wars canon, do you want to see any other old Legends characters re-purposed into the Disney canon?

I think it's ultimately about rejecting Kreia's nihilism and hatred of the force (and accepting that rejection). It's why you can't side with her at any point. I'm not quite sure what other message you might be getting at though cause I might be dumb.
Oh!
No, I like that interpretation; I think I'm more upset at the "Force hipsters" that think the Force is "evil" or some shit (based off their own interpretation of the finale of the game).
😂
Thinking the force is only evil is letting Kreia, THE VILLAIN, win. As cool as she is, she is the antagonist for a reason (and again why you explicitly can't side with her). Though that might just be cause they ran out of time to implement said ending though I feel I read a Behind-the-scenes that supports my take.
But you right that that is definitely a pervasive reading from the game. Kreia is very persuasive and compelling and honestly my own nihilism and angsts make me want to side with her every time (I was frantically searching for that out the first time I played the game) but after mulling over the game with time this is what I took away from it. Definitely a lot of room for edgelord adoration though.
I don't think he's written anything in like a decade?
He was in Thrawn's fleet in Rebels
I'd love to see Bane getting a short bio mini-series.
Also - he didn't capture a slave. Rain was part of the Army of Light when he f her after the Mind-bomb is detonated, and while he did manipulate her into joining him she was a more than willing participant.
Palleon would be good, but the Afternath trilogy pretty much negates him & Daala as potent protagonists. He wouldn't fit in the New Order, and while I think Daala could be made to work her whole (as I read her) dominatrix thing would also be out of place.
Personally I'd like to see the new EU take a longer look at grey force users, but ppl need that easy light/dark thing so...

People rant and rave about Rey being an undeserving powerhouse marysue, but then turn around and gush over how great Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade are.
There's a bunch of characters I'd love to see get brought back, but I'm happy to let those stay dead in the past.

We don't know for sure that the Ashoka series is definitely heading towards Thrawn but I imagine it's more likely than not. Hopefully it can give Palleon a juicy role. Thrawn will need someone to talk to, and then Palleon can try to help the Republic or something eventually afterwards.
Thats true, and I'd completely forgotten about his appearance in Rebels. He fits with Thrawn's approach & attitude - altho hopefully they make him a bit more than just 'the honourable man fighting for bastards'.

Simple: She left when he decided to train Kylo. She senses the darkness, so she left with her unborn child (of whom Luke knew nothing, of course).
Bonus points if the Skywalker kid hates the force because in its mind, it's what tore the parents apart.

You'd think it would make Rey a "real" Skywalker, but no, that's when she decides to go by Palpatine.
