It was bad enough when they ruined the EU with retcons to fit the prequels, now the creativity is stifled because of Lucas Clone Wars series.

You cannot have anymore off the wall EU if it has to be approved by Lucas himself.

"I decided to change the canon its my canon and i can do what i want, I want" IS how i picture Lucas.

I don't really know if Lucas should be blamed for the state the EU's in currently. Except for having Anakin Solo disposed of and limiting the use of Wookiee Jedi, Lucas doesn't interfere with the EU all that often.

I think most of the blame should fall on the various editors, writers, etc. running the EU. If they wanted to, they could work around the PT, ignoring or subverting it's existence while working in other eras while still acknowledging it as canon. But they don't, because they are just a bunch of obvious sycophants who just love to shove prequelisms into each and every era outside of the PT.
