Is anyone still fans of  star wars anyway i mean the film series was ruined and destroyed by George Lucas and now he is doing the same to the EU, and i mean the fans the films were originally made for and not the new kids who don't know the special editions and prequels are garbage.

The canon of projects such as the force unleashed and clone wars are clearly higher than EU because of lucas involvement but they have not stated them as G-canon, As for Karen Traviss quitting because lucash crapped all over her creation of an elaborate culture and mythology for the mandalorians i can't comment.

Though Zahn was pissed when they killed Mara Jade without telling him or even running it past him.  And traviss was the one who wanted that to happen, it was probably also her idea for Jacen to go all sith.

Her idea  to kill off Luke Skywalker was denied, they allowed killing Mara though when the universe has few strong female characters, i will always think they were morons for that.

Its kind of funny how reading the zahn novels in the early nineties made me want to see a sequel trilogy and prequels, i now know better. I wish the special editions and prequels never happened they buried the real star wars and kept it in non anamorphic form even to this day on DVD.

Now Traviss writes for the Halo EU,lol.  I guess it makes sense since her thing was writing either mandos or clone troopers.

I can't blame Mike Stackpole for leaving and not writing star wars anymore he left just when star wars started turning into shit.  I'm truly surprised everyone has not jumped ship now that the EU has been drawn into line with the Lucas canon, there is few creative incentives to work in that universe and write fiction except money. 

Lucas owns all characters the authors write and can have them ruined whenever it so pleased him or the marketing department.  Who wants to write stories for the star warped universe that is not in line with the originals, but is a takeoff of those absolutely horrible prequels.

I mean you had posers pretending to be earlier versions of the characters.  Hayden is not a young version of anakin or vader consistent with the original trilogy, and even Ewan as kenobi was false as written thanks to lucas.  Even Luke and Leia's mom was made into a dumb person who does not even flinch when told of Anakin's murders.
