It is truly depressing…
To me the Post-OT novels are the best era of Star Wars. Yeah there are a handful of duds, but even the stuff before the more exciting Thrawn trilogy and beyond is great.
People are really missing out on stuff like Truce at Bakura, Courtship of Priness Leia, and Tatoonie Ghost. All far more exciting than anything Disney has ever put out.
Every idea that Disney has stolen from the EU was done far better in the EU.
