You can always do what I do, which is to use the power of Nihilism to negate the validity of the parts that suck.
Unfortunately, that means that you have to throw out about 98% of what's there, but that's the price that must be paid.
For me, the actual unmolested films are obviously of greatest importance, followed by the works of Brian Daley and Timothy Zahn. Pretty much everything else I'm convinced had to have gestated in a dog's rectum, though how prone to digestive disturbance the dog was in each particular case does vary.
I also have some theories about where the Zahn-haters originated, but I'll refrain from mentioning those.
