What's your opinion?  I think less is definitely more.  Is more more?  Or how much is too much?

I'm all for there being as much EU as the market can support. So what if most of it's crap? Every now and then something good comes out ("Fatal Alliance" was fun).

I think most EU is painfully bad for the same reasons you list; the Universe-shrinking masturbatory obsession with filling in cracks and explaining things. On the other hand I haven't given "Tales from Jabba's Palace" a second thought since reading it in the mid-90s, anymore than I dwell on the two hours I lost watching "First Knight."  I certainaly don't watch ROTJ and spend my time thinking about whose brains are in those brain-jar-droids.

The is nothing that can harm my enjoyment of the OT and "Star Wars" in general.
