The scenes that interest me the most in Star Wars are the ones on Tatooine. The specific line by Obiwan "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." interests me so much.
Living in the Star Wars universe is 'real' and not shiny like Star Trek. It's gritty and even slightly dystopian. I find the scoundrel elements, making a living from nefarious gains the most interesting.
I like the pirate era, I guess as pirates go Hondo is the most famous. He was active a long long time. I dislike the amount of repeat characters we have. A rule of thumb to me; if it's not totally clear from the thumb nail which version of the character you're looking at, there's no need for the newer version.
