    This mod has so many callbacks to different stuff: my inner nerd is freaking out.
    like at the start you was at war with Mimban (From Solo, it would be really funny if you got a chance to kill Han Solo In that war if historical focuses were off) and the Mon calamari (that’s from the Darth Vader comics). I’m surprised you didn’t get a battle of Scarif event that starts the rebellion, or a Destruction of Mandalore event, or even a Lothal event that takes Thrawn out of the game. was you just that good at suppressing the rebels, or is the rebel alliance unfinished?

    I am Happy 😊 that HOI4 has a Star Wars Mod as a huge fan of Star Wars and Stars Was Expanded Universe which Disney has branded as Legends. I love that they combined the Disney Canon and the EU/Legends Material to create this Mod. Because During Alex’s game play as the Galactic Empire I saw the names of some of the Generals/Admirals they were not all from Disney canon but from EU/Legends like Imperial Admiral Harrsk who in the EU/Legends survives the Battle of Endor at the end of RTOJ, but at a cost of suffering brain damage and disfigured. Harrsk becomes a Post-ROTJ Imperial Warlord and rules over a sector of space within the Galactic core and he fights against other Imperial Warlords and factions. Star Wars EU/Legends Post-ROTJ stuff is far more interesting than what we have gotten from Disney in my opinion and Highly recommend people to buy the EU/Legends Books either as Physical/PDF/Audio form. I hope they add more stuff to this Mod like the Zan Consortium from the Empire at War Expansion and they can add Prince Xizor of the Black Sun Crime Syndicate. I would love to see them add additional eras if possible like Clone Wars era, Knight’s of the Old Republic/Old Republic era, New Republic era (EU/Legends), Legacy era (EU/Legends), Disney Sequels etc.
