The novel had a feeling of everything must be viewed from a Prequel point of view.

This pretty much sums up the current state of the EU.

And even the colouring books. I saw one the other day I was going to buy- it had OT vader on the cover. It had the 80's double line going around the edge. I figure'd it had to be OT. Then I flipped through it and only saw pictures of 10 year old Annie, Jar Jar, and Sebulba.

What the H-E-double-hell??

And the capital crime is the perpetual resurrection of the Emperor! Whose clever idea was it to actually have him come back again and again and again?

It was Lucas, believe it or not. Veitch originally planned to bring Vader back in the form of an imposter for Dark Empire, but Lucas thought that Vader as the antagonist had already been throughly explored and that it would be better to bring Palpatine back instead.

I wish I could point to my thread that I made in defense of Dark Empire Emperor Clones... but it very quickly became a silly argument between me and VINH. Ah, well....

But still, I think people that are vehemently against Emperor clones maybe misunderstand that this fictional universe includes both Cloning and Dark Magic. You can argue with the execution, but it seems odd to argue that it should be impossible in the universe.
