I have searched on the internet, but I can't grasp the concept.

Many fans don't like it. How would you change the NL's format? For example: less games, more focused on small teams because it's the only competition they have, less confusing, more tension etc.

I liked Jedi Search. It's not a masterpiece like the Thrawn Trilogy, but I still found it fun. Are Dark Apprentice and Champions of the Force still worth reading (I heard bad opinions about them)?

without spoilers please

Yesterday I just rewatched The Force Awakens and I don't know why but I like it so much, even more than all of the prequels. I love the characters, Snoke, Rey, Finn, Chewie and Han, Leia, Poe Dameron, Kylo Ren and counting on. I like the style of the movie as the enemy never felt like a real treat, and I like the designs, like the First Order stormtrooper suits. It's weird, since I consider (most of) the Expanded Universe as the true continuity of Return of the Jedi. I laughed at the comedy moments and It helped me distract myself from my existential ocd. I think the reasons i enjoyed this movie so much are these: • I did lower up my expectations before rewatching it. • i don't consider it canon so i did not really care about how It ruins the Original Trilogy. • i'm a very anxious person so maybe not having a real treatingly villain was a good thing for me • It all felt fresh and new, and the actors (Ridley, Boyega, Ford...) seemed so happy and energic. • It was a reinterpretation of one of my favorite movies, A New Hope, so watching it in a different way was a good experience.

I can't wait to rewatch The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
