I got out of Star Wars EU before the yuzhan vong but read so many of those books beforehand. It’s still kind of ridiculous to me that Disney didn’t just make those books into movies. Luke as a teacher training the next generation of Jedi on Yavin 4 or falling for the witches of Dathomir or battling Admiral Thrawn was great! But probably not as good as I remember.
They're a lot better than what Disney has come up with in the meantime. I tried to get back into Star Wars books with the Leia book and Lost Stars and I decided I wasn't going to read a third, they were just terrible. When libs try to write politics the only thing they can come up with is "the unwashed masses decide to do fascism because they couldn't be patient and let the smart technocrats fix everything", essentially just writing a worse version of the prequels.
I feel gaslit because it's like everything actually is terrible in a lot of big ways, but the only thing people are complaining about is LGBT/PoC characters.
