Oh, well, for that matter, the words 'Sith' and 'Coruscant' made EU apperances before they were in the films, so maybe I was over the top when I said there was no inspiration at ALL, but the basic theory holds.

Coruscant isn't an EU word, it is a real word. Lucas just liked that name which he kept from the EU novel. It's just the name of the planet, not the idea of the planet.
Actually it was, but Lucas already had the word picked out, along with other names that Lucas allowed Zahn to choose from. If appearing in a book first makes it EU so be it, but Zahn didn't come up with it. He just used it.
"Knights of Sith" was what it originally was on GL's list, Sith knights. But he cut it from the script and put it in ROTJ later. And (for once) Emperor Helmet makes sense. He's right. No offense. Coruscant and Sith were among GL's list of unused words.
Had Abbadon. Sounds cool, but which draft was it from?. The other planets he was going to do were Utapau, Alderaan, Aquilae, and Yavin. Aquilae played an important part in the original Version 1 script.
