Yeah I was excited for the new comics, started reading them (the Vader series was actually quite good for a time) then they quickly got stupid and I just tossed them all, lol.
A bit overdramatic perhaps

That's too bad. I used to really love a lot of the comics. Some were really cheesy but a lot of fun. Some were really good and some were not good at all. At least the older comics had a lot of elements that inspired Lucas and had a good heart to them.
Yeah the old stuff still has a really fun vibe to them.

When I first saw the bowcaster scene it instantly recalled this snippet from the golden age of the EU, Brian Daley's Han Solo and the Lost Legacy (1980):
Flash from the past, Asta. I loved that Han Solo trilogy, as well as the Lando Calrissian trilogy. Early EU. We were eager for more Star Wars stories and the stories were good.
Those were long before the dark times, before the (Disney) Empire..."

I still regard those two trilogies as the true spirit of the expanded universe.
There were some good novels that followed that also felt true to the spirit, and I was so eager for the return of Star Wars to film with The Phantom Menace.
And then I saw it...
The Prequels felt so alien and different in their direction. Star Wars had become Trade Wars, with the addition of unfunny 'humour' and non-threatening battle droids. In The Lost Legacy Xim's war-robots had been something to be feared.

The Sequels feel even further from the mark, but with Solo I get a sense of an early EU adventure, and then there's Rogue One and The Mandalorian to offset the clumsy conclusion to the Skywalker saga.

Some folks at Disney clearly haven't learned a damn thing. I can't believe snowflake is an actual character name.

Really looks so basic and bland. Nice that they have a doublesided vibrator I mean lightsaber for those duels in the bedchambers.

Lol, the best of the best. They should have just saved themselves the trouble of creating a new character design and just introduced Captain Marvel into the Star Wars universe...Here she is, the best of the best!
But who would win in a fight between Captain Marvel and Rey?
