Star Wars didn't need saving. We didn't need new films or all the pile of merchandise that came after Zahn's success. If Zahn hadn't re-popularized Star Wars Lucas probably wouldn't have made the prequels or SE and we'd probably have the OOT on anamorphic dvd right now and blu-ray coming up. I could have done without the 90s Star Wars renaissance. Ok, there were still some good things that came out of that era and I have some limited nostalgia for it as the last period in which Star Wars meant the OT not Annie and the cartoon guys. But some people see it as Star Wars's golden age and that just bewilders me.
