Fire whoever's been giving the shitty new comics and novels the stamp of approval and replace them with someone who'll actually say a great big "NO!" to schlock stories.

Abandon the stupid concept of "canon" once and for all and let the writers write whatever stories they may in whatever continuity they wish (be it a previously established continuity or their own personal continuity).

Cancel all the ongoing Star Wars comic series and replace them with a single SW series -- an anthology series containing multiple stories per issue focused on a wide variety of characters from various timeframes.

Publish fewer novels.

That's it -- that's all it would take to improve the nuEU for me.

I'd have to agree with you there. Forcing every story to fit into a single continuity was a large part of what made things so hard for me to follow. Give fans a choice of whatever writer's continuity they like more. Star Wars is big enough for this to work.

Also I'd like to see less retcons. Hundreds of those spilling into each other didn't help with my confusion.
