That they decided to have a single universe that everything has to conform to rather than allowing stories to occur in separate universes. Why should Thrawn and Dark Empire occur in the same universe? Why should Tales of the Jedi and KOTOR occur in the same universe?
I can get behind this. I haven’t read any for a few years, but I was enjoying the Star Trek novels that often contradicted each other, but tended to agree with existing official movie/TV show canon existent at the time. It made it easy to establish one’s own personal canon while discarding what one didn’t like.
I enjoyed the books dealing with teenage Jimmy Kirk, Captain Robert April, and First Officer George Kirk.
