EU started the every Jedi wears Obi-Wan robes thing??? When? I remember in Tales of the Jedi the ancient Jedi had their own unique look, some of them may have warn robes, but they were very different style than the Obi-Wan and later every Jedi robes from the films, they were usually more of a hooded cloak with normal clothes on under. Every Jedi had their own unique thing going on. Then in Luke's Jedi academy they all wore coveral sort of school uniforms, not robes. What part of the EU had them all wearing robes? I used to read a bit of EU before the prequels and I remember being surprised and annoyed to see every single Jedi dressing like Obi-Wan, also it makes Obi-Wan even more intelligent being one of the last Jedi in hiding and not wanting to be discovered, and yet stubbornly sticking to his tradition Jedi garmets. Which, convieniently, seem to be kind of popular in Mos Eisely during ANH.

I think the stupid PT ought to be ignored as well as the majority of the EU. While there is a lot of crappy EU, which is inevitable considering the vast amount of it, there is also quite a bit of it which is much more enjoyable and in line with the OT than the PT ever was. Good EU may be hard to come by, but good PT has already been proven to be a myth.
