Probably, but one thing that makes the EU so terrible is the damn offspring of the Solo's and Skywalkers.
Ben is just whiny and worthless
Jacen was the worst Sith Lord ever, I almost stopped reading Legacy of the Jedi when they did a 5 page exposition of him stewing and thinking evil thoughts while eating spaghetti in the bathtub.
Jaina was way over powered, she basically kicks the crap out of everything
Anakin - Dead, fab
The problem with the Star Wars Universe and the EU is that they made the Jedi and the force so powerful that there was never any danger to the Jedi.
In one book the Empire attacks Yavin with a fleet of Star Destroyers including a SSD, suddenly size matters not, they're flinging those things half way across the galaxy. Luke is crushing AT-AT's like tin cans, they're cracking planets and doing all kinds of stupid things.
I think that the original idea of the force was that it made you a bit faster, and you could see visions of the future and you could anticipate what would happen and toss some rocks around.
Its become the ultimate plot killer to be honest in the EU.
So I'd rather not have the Solo and skywalker brats anywhere near the story if they're going to be uber powered.
If the EU had written the PT, Kenobi and Skywalker would have flown into the Seperatist fleet crushing ships with their minds and forcing reactor overloads from half way across the sector. The clone War should have been over when it started with the Jedi making the droids into puppets for their own amusement.
For the next one, they need to re-invent not add on to the previous trilogy. They can alude to the founding of the new republic with Princess Leia and Han and the rest of our merry band that bought democracy to the galaxy, then borrow from Shakesphere "and they died" now years after that a new threat rises in the galaxy.
Leave out the Jedi for the next few movies, add some grit, and an unexpected enemy and go from there.
For fun Leia and Luke have a falling out and she turns to her communicator and picks it up and says execute order 66 and we see Luke shot to rags.
