I'm admittedly biased against the modern EU, so you don't have to take my word for it, but yes, it had become that silly and convoluted. Case in point: Boba Fett falling into and having to escape from the sarlacc twice.
That misconception really bugs me as I've seen it pop up a few times now. The escape from the Sarlaac has been depicted twice and one of them was never considered canon.
The first time was in an issue of Marvel's Star Wars. Where Boba escapes but ends up back in the pit by the end of the story because Lucas caught wind of it and was adamant at the time that Boba was done.
Years later, for the Bounty Hunter novel trilogy they decided to finally depict his escape canonically.
But the Marvel story was never considered canon.
