I will a argue though that the Old Republic stuff and the EU stuff written during the Clones was actually really good and made sense and had a logical flow to it.
They even ignore a lot of the post rotj eu.
Even the Thrawn series which was ok but I don't see the greatness of it was completely destroyed by the prequels. As was the Jedi Academy series.
And the EU post ROTJ got worse and worse due to every writer trying to make their careers off of it. Karen Traviss or whatever her name is, every one of her books came across as a masterbatory fantasy about Bobba Fett.
Worse yet, every one of Keven Anderson's books was about bigger and bigger superweapons.
First it was the death star that destroyed planets, then it was the sun crusher that destroyed solar systems, next thing you know its going to be the universe defragmentor that destroys everything and Palpatines 4 eyed mutant sun with light sabers grafted into every joint in his body has the button.
