I loved the Bane books, the scene in the casino in the first book was so well written and showed that Bane originally wasn't a evil guy, he was just disenfranchised and had a certain world view.
Yeah there are a lot of pretty bad duds in the legends EU. I thought I would like the Republic/Imperial Commando series a lot more then I did, it was such an interesting concept.
Then there was the book about the villain being a pulsating gold crusted meat sack that wanted to eat the Solo kids.
But overall the legends EU was really solid.
the new EU just doesn't have the same feel. The biggest dissapointment to me was the lord of the Sith books that read like a buddy cop mystery.
