With most of the Expanded Universe declared officially non-canon, the Universe is relatively open and unexplored. Disney publishing along with Lucasarts have announced 20 new stories to fill in some of the details before the new movie is released.

Some love all the extra background material, while others never bothered. Are there any of the EU stories that you felt made for a better setting overall, and why? What might they do better this time around?

  Gotta give credit to Splinter which turned me on to Foster.
  Haven't thought about that guy for like 15 years.
  He had a knack for really fun and light adventures built on top of some great SF premises and he did a good job building his own worlds.

  Absolutely. I didn't mean to imply that Splinter was bad at all, so I hope I didn't give that impression. I've just been a Han fanboy since I was 4. :D

  If you have not yet, read "Sentenced to Prism"
  Not Star Wars, but one of my favorite books by Foster. A fun read with a unique point of view.
