Sadly, most EU is farfetched and over-the-top. I really stopped caring after Salvatore wrecked everything with the utter stupidity that is NJO...

If you think he wrecked the EU, you don't want to see what he did in the Forgotten Realms. Vomit. Drizzt DoUrden, a character who makes Annie Skywalker and Jar Jar look good. But in all fairness, the NJO was planned by people other than him. He just carried out their dirty work, offing Chewie for them and starting the ball rolling.
