Here's something else about the EU I dislike immensely:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_Caves_(Ilum)
Oh, the Jedi restrict themselves to using Ilum crystals, which only come in one shade of blue and green each! *rollseyes*
When Lucas made all the Jedi in the PT other than Ass Windbag carry blue and green lightsabers, the dumbass EU writers should have just restricted the Jedi shown in those movies to blue and green lightsabers; there should been no attempt made to restrict EU-exclusive Jedi to blue/green lightsabers and/or explain the reasons behind such a stupid restriction.
