In my opinion, the story of the sequel trilogy had some major flaws that could be considered 'the worst'. The way they handled Luke Skywalker's character in 'The Last Jedi' was really disappointing. They made him seem so out of character compared to the original trilogy. It was like they were trying to subvert expectations but ended up ruining the essence of the beloved character.
The prequel trilogy has its detractors who think it's part of the worst Star Wars stories. The overly complicated trade disputes in Episode I as a starting point for the whole saga seemed dull. Also, the wooden acting in parts of the prequels and some of the less - than - impressive CGI, like Jar Jar Binks, made it a bit of a let - down for many fans who had high hopes based on the original trilogy.
Well, 'The Courtship of Princess Leia' is not well - liked by many fans and could be seen as one of the worst Star Wars novels. It has a rather odd premise. The relationship between Han and Leia is portrayed in a way that many fans find unappealing. And the overall plot doesn't really contribute much to the broader Star Wars saga.
The 'New Jedi Order' series had some elements that were considered less than ideal. It introduced the Yuuzhan Vong, an alien race that some fans thought was too different from the traditional Star Wars villains. Their nature and the way they were introduced disrupted the familiar Star Wars universe too much for some. The series also had some pacing issues, with some parts dragging on while others seemed rushed, which detracted from the overall experience of the story.
The worst Star Wars fanfiction often has a lack of respect for the source material. It might introduce concepts that go against the established lore of Star Wars. For instance, creating new Force powers that are completely unheard of and break the balance of the Force in the story. The dialogue can also be really cheesy or inappropriate for the Star Wars setting. And sometimes, the fanfiction tries too hard to be edgy and ends up just being a mess of over - the - top and out - of - place elements.
In my opinion, 'The New Rebellion' is not a great addition to the EU novels. The story lacks the usual excitement of Star Wars. The conflict seems forced and the resolution is rather anticlimactic. It also doesn't do a great job of building on the existing relationships between the main characters.
One of the often - criticized Star Wars canon novels is 'Aftermath'. Many fans thought the plot was a bit too slow - paced and the new characters introduced didn't quite capture the essence of the Star Wars universe as well as they could have.
One of the worst could be 'The Crystal Star'. It had a convoluted plot that didn't seem to fit well with the overall Star Wars feel. The characters' actions and development were rather strange, and it was hard to get into the story.
A great Star Wars canon novel is 'Master & Apprentice'. It shows the relationship between Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi in a really interesting way. It has some great character moments. On the downside, 'Alphabet Squadron' was a bit lackluster. The characters didn't really stand out, and the plot wasn't as exciting as other Star Wars novels.
One that often gets the title of the worst is 'The Courtship of Princess Leia'. It has a plot that seems a bit forced. The way it tries to explore the relationship between the main characters feels unnatural. And it doesn't really enhance the overall Star Wars story but rather feels like a side - note that doesn't quite fit in.
Well, it's mainly because it was so poorly executed. The story was all over the place. It had a bunch of random segments that didn't flow well together. There was no real focus or a strong central plot. It seemed like they just threw together a bunch of ideas without much thought into making it a coherent Star Wars story.
