Tbh, I kinda like them all. I mean yeah, there are some cases where an Era has a weakpoint, but even in that, there's at least something I can appreciate for, in one capacity or another.

A bit though I'm torn between Rise and Rebellion Era the most. I think I might wanna lean in towards.....Rebellion Era.

But it's honestly really and I mean REALLY close.

I got a 3 way tie between the Rise of the Empire era, New Republic era, and the New Jedi Order era as these eras are where the bulk of my favorite EU stories lie. I think I’m gonna vote for the New Republic era though since it’s the era that got me hooked into the EU and solidified it as my favorite Star Wars continuity.

Rise of the Empire, because of the great Clone Wars era works like Shatterpoint, the Battle of Jabiim and the Revenge of the Sith novelization. The New Republic and New Jedi Order eras are very close behind.

I think I'd put Rebellion era near the bottom, because apart from the films, there isn't really much going on. And kind of has an awkward feeling, half the cast is missing and there's several prequel-era holdovers. It feels more like a prologue to the New Republic era than it's own distinct period.
