Following the release of 1983's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars hype began to fade away, slowly but surely. Over the next two decades, before the prequels would eventually be announced and the Star Wars hype cycle would begin once again, Star Wars fans had to rely on a slew of external material to get their fix. From video games like X-Wing to the Heir to the Empire Thrawn trilogy of books, Star Wars fans found whatever material they could and devoured it, even despite some content lacking the charm and quality of its original source material. But with Disney acquiring the Star Wars license in 2012, all of this expanded material was firmly taken out of the canon, rebranded as Star Wars Legends.
While this decision angered many fans, with some beloved Star Wars characters and story arcs being all but wiped from existence, there's no denying that some Star Wars Legends content just isn't all that great. Further, with hundreds of writers and contributors over the years, the timeline did get pretty muddled. That being said, there were a few handfuls of good ideas in the mix, one of which would make a great plot for the upcoming Mass Effect 4.
