Can't the EU continue on it's merry way while the new films come out?
AFAIK, this isn't even an issue with Trek fans, and that particular EU has been around a lot longer.
Ah, but the Star Trek EU isn't canon, isn't meant to be canon, and makes no pretentions of being canon, unlike the Star Wars EU, which has had The Rod of Continuity rammed straight up its backside by elevated, anal-retentive fanboys who can never see the forest for the trees.
