I hate how Thrawn always gets the credit for starting the EU. The EU started with the ANH novelization.
Ehhh, that should really go to the first original work of fiction based on the property. So either the Marvel comics or Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
The first issue of the Marvel series to tell an original story was put on sale October 11, 1977, months before SOTME, so the Marvel comics can be credited for starting the EU.
