This is actually a crying shame since much of the SW Expanded Universe material is far superior to the drivel that Lucas himself has produced, with the exception of Clone Wars, which was well-written and I enjoyed.

The Best Star Wars Material is often in the Expanded Universe
When I was a Teenager I loved the Clone Wars Multi-Media Project. Why? Because the contributors actually gave a Sh!t about Canon and not stepping on each others toes.
All that when out the window with that POS Clone Wars Movie and 3D Series. Toss Canon Right out the window.
Well that's it. Star Wars is dead.
By the way. Do you think it's a coincidence that the best Star Wars Film (The Empire Strikes Back) is the on that has the least amount of involvement from George Lucas?

Of course it did. Doesn’t George Lucas believe in parallel universes?
I guess the Yuuzhan Vong gives him nightmares.

I expect some of the better ideas of the Expanded Universe will be recycled one way or the other. The city-planet Corouscant which figures so prominently in the prequel trilogy first appeared in Timothy Zahn’s 1991 novel Heir to the Empire.

As far as I am concerned, Lucas already botched the timelines with Episodes I, II and III, and screwed up the background lore when he re-edited Episode IV to substitute CGI for the original Special Effects.

Once Lucas became rich and powerful enough to run unrestrained in Hollywood, he proved to be a disaster. His latter movies are horrible, and have become a caricature of themselves.

After the awful episodes 1,2,3. Lucas needs to take a hands off policy except to hand over his original screenplays for 7,8,9 to JJ Abrams.
