Well if it is true that they used Lucas' storyline for ST, then it is still Lucas to blame for non-consistencies.
And for both world wars, and AIDs, and cancer, and the assassination of JFK. In short, Lucas is to blame for everything, really.
The recent news about the EU won't really affect me. The quality of the writing won't improve just because these new books are going to be canon. Timothy Zahn, James Luceno and Matthew Stover are not the yardstick by which EU writers seem to be measured; Kevin J Anderson seems to be the accepted standard.
