I don't know. I like that Star Wars is so big, that 3 (6... 9... 12...) movies can't contain it and it spills into books, comics, TV shows, et al...
But I guess less is more? Or is it?
When the EU was young (and so was I) I remember thinking it was better than other EU's (Trek, or... well... Trek, I guess) because there was continuity. But then... it sort of grew so much it collapsed in on itself- so I withdrew as well (like most of you, based on many comments here over the years) and only accept very little into "my personal canon". (There, I said it).
However, I really enjoyed the Force Unleashed games and think Star Wars is better off for having games like that, even if I don't think they should be considered canon.
So... I don't know.
THE END.
