Okay that's just weak.
I think the LucasFilm ppl and the LucasBooks people need to keep the EU off of the Star Wars movies' @sses.
But seriously, sometimes they need to stop with the EU stories, too much contridicting crap, Lucas himself needs to show what certain things can do.
Some ppl might not like NJO, but I think that's a good example of where EU should go, doesn't interfere with people's pasts (before ANH) and doesn't mess around too much with the "facts".
After all the movies are finished I think that's when EU should try to do things like the Clone Wars.
I'm just saying NJO is more of what LucasFilm should license and not stuff like Splinter, although they COULD rewrite it, but I doubt that.
P.S. I haven't read it, just lettin u know.
I think after the whole deal is done, with Ep IV-VI being "finished" we can finally have novels that don't keep changing the rules, and I'm sorry if I missed something, but just saying in general.
