Why are you bringing up either Nolan or Earth, neither of which have anything to do with Star Wars?

I was trying to say that a Star Wars movie that takes place in the same universe as te EU (what some are advocating) would be like a Batman movie that takes place in the same universe as the Batman comics.

The comics and the movie are two different takes on the character. Different universes. The EU means Expanded Universe, not Different Universe. This is why Lucas specifically forbid writers from delving into the Clone Wars period and tried to make the prequels fit with the EU instead of disregarding it completely. However, since he doesn't have a good grasp of continuity as it is, the effort was rather wasted.

Taking bits and pieces of the EU that he likes and sticking them in the PT =/= trying to make the PT fit with the EU.

Correct. To claim that the prequels were EU friendly is pure revisionism. When TPM was released, fans complained about the absence of Palpatine's three-eyed wife and there being two, not one Dark Lord of the Sith at a time. They also complained about the TPM novelization's Sith history being inconsistent with Tales of the Jedi.

Furthermore, why should Disney continue doing things the way Lucas did them?
