I know I’ve said this before, but I’m certainly glad the EU got the axe. It’s cool to relearn the post-Jedi Star Wars galaxy, and there was far more crap than good in the EU as it was. Not to mention ugly, forced retcons.

I think Timothy Zahn coming back is pretty cool, though. Were I a writer, I think it might be neat to be able to go back and write a character I created from a different angle. What it means to me is that a lot of the cream of the old EU will rise to the top of the new EU: the good stories and characters and plots will be seen again.
