also, what's the concensus on the EU as a whole here?

do you guys think it was better or worse than the replacement EU?

I like about 40-45% of the old EU, and that's mostly the stuff that was written before TPM's release. I hate the rest of it.

As for the nuEU, I read Heir to the Jedi, the Princess Leia comic miniseries, and the first three issues of the Darth Vader comic -- mediocre wastes of time, all of them. I've had my fill of shitty SW stories from the old EU, and I'm not going to play the battered wife who keeps going back to her abusive husband; I'm officially done with future SW tie-in fiction.
