Welcome to the Monday chat corner!
For this week, I looked at Wookieepedia’s Timeline of Legends Media and found the in-universe chronologically latest novel: Crucible, set in 45 ABY. It came out in 2014, making it also one of the last published Expanded Universe novels.
Has anyone here read it, and do you have something to say about it? If not, I have also found an article about last EU stories published, which might be of interest.

This week is for Legends content, and our topic is the MedStar duology, released in 2004, which focuses on a Republic Mobile Surgical Unit and stars (among other characters) Padawan Bariss Offee.
Has anyone here read these books? I haven’t, but I am mildly fascinated by them, mostly because of the theme. Is this... M.A.S.H. in space? From the description it sounds more like one of those medical drama shows that were popular during that time. Also, it seems these books got “Jossed” by TCW even before the Disneypocalypse… what do you think?

This week, the topic is the Jedi Academy Trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson, which tells the story of Luke Skywalker’s attempt to resurrect the Jedi Order (and also that one dude from that one comic comes back, somehow).
Have you read it? What did you think? Wkp tells me that the whole series got later retconned by another novel (I, Jedi by M. Stackpole), which means it got retconned twice if you also count current canon. Oh, Star Wars…

Are you sick of Valentine’s Day marketing yet? This week’s topic is supposed to come from Legends, so lets talk about “Courtship of Princess Leia“, AKA one of the most memetically bad EU books ever.
I have no idea whether it’s actually bad or not. I’ve also read somewhere that for such a terrible book, it’s the source (or at least inspiration) of a huge amount of current background worldbuilding. (I know Dathomir was mentioned…) Anybody here who has read it and can report?
