Lucas has directly taken helm over things like the creation of the New Jedi Order books which killed 75% of the main cast that had been established for the previous 40 books. I’m just going to skip all the fanboy anger here and reasoning and simply say he’s been a plague to the material since after RotJ.

Disney hasn’t really screwed up Marvel, and while they may be the parent company now, it it still run by LucasFilm people. Clone Wars was wildly received well. Some of the new games coming out are a little ray of hope. Would could potentially see them take the initiative and produce some Xwing games or Battlefront titles that people have been demanding for years.

The main beef I’ve got, is that they need to stick with the extended universe material up to the Hand of Thrawn set. After that they decdied, with the switch to Del Ray and Lucas having a big anti-EU chip on his shoulder that they needed to make the universe gritty and dark (it was too upbeat), so they destroyed 70% of the SW galaxy. Cut that off there. Make the first set of books, the Heir to the Empire trilogy with Thrawn and Mara Jade. Get Timothy Zahn to help with the screenplay. That series alone, is just as good and iconic as the original 3 films… it literally spawned the entire EU. Use it.

This is no worse than if Kajishima gave up and handed Tenchi over to another director. Half of us would rejoice the other would question it and worry.
