Its funny, because I'm re reading the Legacy series where Jacen Solo goes bad, and now whenever I read about him I see Kylo Ren.

The old EU wasn't great, there were a lot of bad characters and badly written books. There were interdimensional meat monsters, a super weapon flurry each either bigger or more destructive then the last. I mean hey pfft you can blow up a planet with that thing? We can blow up a solar system with this thing.

But after reading the new Expanded universe books. The Lords of the Sith buddy cop story with Vader and Palpatine, the Aftermath series and others, and what stands out to me is this.

When they dumped the old EU they lost really good writers and replaced them with really poor writers. the Aftermath series has been so badly written that its hard to stay interested even though the last one is out I think today. The Sith Lords book was just badly written.

Its a shame because to me, not one of the new EU books has really been good.

With the legends EU, there was a ton of bad. But when they got it right, like the Bane Trilogy, or the books that took place between AOTC and ROTS they really got it right.
