I hear ya, C3PX. I think this is why I pretty much have abandoned the EU or really anything SW that isn't the actual movies. And the closer I can keep it to '77, the better. It was so much more fun with a couple of cool novels, some action figures and my scholastic book club story books.
Snivvians, Ithorians and Quarren? Who cares. Give me Snaggletooth, Hammerhead and Squidhead any day.
