I think we should get more daring and bold stories instead of the usual "Oh, no! Another Imperial commander is taking over the remnants of the Empire!". I'd love to see alternate universe storylines like "What if Luke joined Vader?". "What if Greedo shot first and KILLED Han?", or even "What if the prequels were good?". I'd pay good money to see that.

 In their defense some taking over the remnents of the Empire was necessary. The Thrawn Trilogy did it so why can't the NuEu have that in it. 

Also I mentioned the "what if Luke joined Vader" idea earlier in this thread and I want that almost as much as I want to see TFA. I think they should have actually done that in the OT. It would have changed the foundation of the series even further.

Be consistent about what "Sith" means. The old EU couldn't make up its mind about this.

Well, already the ANH novelization from 1977 described Vader as "a Dark Lord of the Sith was an awesome, threatening shape as it strode through the corridors of the rebel ship. Fear followed the footsteps of all the Dark Lords."

Apparently this was enough for Lucasfilm to prohibit Zahn the use of "Sith" for his noghris (what he originally wanted) but I think most people understand that Sith is the somewhat opposite of Jedi.

Personally I wholeheartedly agree that George Lucas Canon includes everything in the screenplay, novelizations and radio dramas unless such information contradicts the actual films.

Problem however is that Rogue One is probably going to rewrite the radio dramas how Princess Leia got her hands on the Death Star plans.

Frankly, I think the best thing to improve the nuEU would be first to sit down and create a database that has all the information from the films, novelizations, radio dramas and the contributions / concepts of the original artists and have that fixed first.

I want to see the original, anti-gravitational properties of tibanna gas (The Art of ESB) restored.

 

 

Lucas on the colorization of the THREE STOOGES in 2004: "Maybe just the fact that they're in black and white makes it funny, because their humor is dated. But by putting it in black and white, it puts it in a context where you can appreciate it for what it was."  Lucas on film preservation before Congress in 1988: "The public's interest is ultimately dominant over all other interests."
