I know on the EU front, I'm a pretty big Star Wars reader, but when I compare the old republic stuff including the Bane books to the clone war stuff to the post ROTJ stuff, for the most part the post ROTJ stuff is just not that good. I had high hopes for the Darth Caedus story line, but it was so indecisive and Jacen was just a weak caricature of what I thought a Sith Lord should be. The Fate of the Jedi stuff was even worse.
I give credit to the Thrawn Trilogy but it was written far before the prequels came out and because of that most of the stuff in there and concepts are un-usable.
The rogue squadron stuff was pretty good and you could grab characters from that.
BTW I outright hated Mara Jade and would wretch if she was in the new movies.
I would want Luke to be beaten down by the weight of the galaxy with a long dead wife maybe one who fell battling the Empire.
As an add on, no super weapons in the new one. No fricken sun crushers no freaking World Devestators or Star Destroyers with planet cracking super lasers.
I would like to see a scarier variant on the Storm Troopers, I did like Thrawns idea of cloning his best troopers to man his ships and army units.
I would like to see the question answered, is Boba Fett really dead and long digested or is he an 80 year old man still angry at the death of his father?
I would like to see the continuation of the concept of he fell to the dark side with the best intentions, something that they really struggled with in Anakins case.
