Does anyone really miss not being able to read Sword of the Jedi.

So the ink from the books vanished? Refusig to read a good story because it is no longer canon is like feeling obliged to read every crappy novel, just because it is canon.

I don't mind the new books being on the same level as the movies, as long as the movies work without the books. Small references to the novels are fine, in the fashion of Han's reference to the bounty hunter on Ord Mantell, just this time they would actually know what they were talking about.
