Hmm, not really relevant, is it?
The EU was 90% trash.
That’s simply a false statement. There were hundreds of books, comics, and TV episodes, with a wide variety of writers. That means that on the whole it was quite variegated rather than “90% trash.” There were a lot of great concepts in there; I gave you one example with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Another fine example was almost the entirety of the Yuzzhan Vong series, New Jedi Order, whose basic premise would have been a very, very awesome basis for a film-sequel trilogy.
There was no good way you could do a ST and incorporate all the post-ROTJ books into it.
That’s a fair statement; continuity with the entire EU would have been virtually impossible with a continuing film series. I guess Lucas never planned to do any sequels, and therefore could basically give free reign to EU writers.
TLJ followed TFA very well.
Not particularly.
