Overall I hate most of the EU. It's a convoluted mess that serves nobody but second rate writers looking for their next pay check.

The only EU I take into account are the KoToR games, the Thrawn novels and then the Jedi Knight games.

I'm currently working on writing KoToR 3, exploring the 'ancient times' which is a complete rewrite of Marka Ragnos and the Great Hyperspace war, setting it a few thousand years after the fall of the Rakataka and the Infinite Empire. I'd also incorporate and rewrite the origins of the Valley of the Jedi, linking it to the threat that Revan went off into the unknown regions to fight. This will all in turn link in to my prequel rewrite.
