I say all the original movies when they came out. Back then Jedi were myth and legend. There was little in the way of information in any form back then. Splinter of the Mind's Eye was the first novel with a new adventure with our heroes (and it was telling in that it alluded to the romance between Luke and Leia), but while the Force was present, it didn't focus on Jedi. Msrvel would have their run of comics, which focused on the heroes, also did not focus on Jedi. Even WEG's Star Wars game focused more on heroes in general than Jedi in particular.
Then the 90s rolled in and much more literature came out, based a lot on the WEG bible. A lot of it focused more on the Jedi. Especially the Jedi kids of Han and Leia and Luke and Mara. It seemed like it was Jedi all the time. In fact a lot of the media has been on Jedi in the last 20 years. Movies, tv, novels, games, it all seemed o focus on Jedi. Maybe too much, in my opinion.
I've more enjoyed the stories and other mediums that didn't focus so much on them. I mean couldn't one of Han and Leia's kids have gone on to be a smuggler or something. Black sheep of the family without the Force. I enjoyed reading many of the short stories in WEG's SW Journals as they focused on smugglers, rebels and soldiers. Fine inspirational reads.
Anyways, I've always liked the idea of Jedis, but have never felt they were what defined the Star Wars universe. I like that FFG has gone back to basics following the OT. Once all the books are out I'll probably look to running a Legacy game. But until then I'll enjoy revisiting my yout.
