They could make it not suck. That would be a general direction to aspire towards.
Except wait, no, they can't do that. Never mind.
Other than "cuz nostalgia" can you explain why the entirety of the nuEU sucks? What about the aforementioned Dark Disciple, Weapon of A Jedi and Lost Stars? These among a couple of other books I listed are getting rave reviews
Weapon of A Jedi:
Amazon- 4 &1/2 out of 5 stars based on 55 reviews
Goodreads- 3.76 out of 5 stars based on 305 reviews
Audible- 4.50 out of 5 stars based on 136 reviews
Lost Stars:
Amazon- 5 out of 5 stars based on 174 reviews
Goodreads 4.40 out of 5 stars based on 516 reviews.
Audible 4.70 out of 5 stars based on 456 reviews
Dark Disciple:
Amazon- 4 and 1/2 stars baded on 218 reviews
Goodreads- 3.99 out of 5 based on 1580 reviews (which is pretty good considering that the highest rated book on Goodreads is a 4.22 out of 5)
Audible- 4.60 out of 5 stars based on 1163 reviews
So lets not act like the entirety of the nuEU is bad. Shit, even books like Lords of The Sith and Tarkin (while not the best books) are better than MOST of the stuff in the EU.
