The EU has turned the Star Wars Universe into nothing but a place where lightsabers and force lightning are used by everyone.
"Look out! It's an Imperial Omega Dark Trooper, fully equipped with two dual-bladed lightsabers. Look out! He's using force lightning and force tornado on Plo Koon. Kit Fisto, watch out for the Neo Dark Side Super Sith forces of Palpatine's 2999th clone."
I don't like the EU.
