As a Legends guy, with all my other experiences, however, my thoughts so far have been making the connections to other books I've read. Examples. When Luke and Leia are talking about the positive-negative cancel-out reaction that helped Yoda hide from the Empire, speculating about C'baoth, all I can remember is the Jedi Civil War in the Old Sith Wars, and where the Jedi Masters went to hide to flush out the Sith, on the planets touched by the dark side, with war, underworld trafficking, horrors, and other nastiness, and that led me to think about how in the wake of the Jedi Purge at the dawn of the New Order, Olee Starstone talked about how "Palpatine isn't a Sith (LOL)," but that he wasn't the first to try it, and that "the Sith" failed thousands of years ago, so will he, and... OMG, KOTOR 2 connections! But that's not the end! In that same book, if you've read Heir to the Empire, you'd know Pellaeon was at Kashyyyk when they invaded and subjugated the Wookiees. That's three connections right there between a video game and two novels.
When you compare this to something like the Disney EU, which insists the Rule of Two was misinterpreted, and it was more the Sith were always "Ruled by Two," then try to connect that to how Yoda just somehow randomly knows who the ghost of Darth Bane is, well... it just reminds me so much of why I love this series. It's so cool. The raw creativity like Lando's new moneymaking venture with the mining city contraption on Nkllon, and the intricacies of the requirements to land there... awesome sauce. Anyway, back to my stuff. But as I said, AMA.
