I've seen all the movies only once a looooong time ago. I did read some of the books of the expanded universe, and I watched all the shows on CN relating to that universe as well. However, I didn't become enthralled.

Indeed, this hype surrounding the new Stars Wars movie just motivates me to seriously research and study it. You seem to be über knowledgeable about Star Wars. This movie is supposed to negate the previous movies right? By previous, I am referring to the prequels, which a lot of people seem to dislike for some reason. you didn't become enthralled because by your own admission you only saw the shitty EU stuff, almost 90% of the EU in the last 5+ years was either trash or based on games/tv shows that were a serious downgrade in the EU quality. The Clone wars series is garbage that just arbitrarily destroyed then current EU canon(which is regrettable because they literally invalidated scene one of an awesome 3+ book series for a series that already broke EU physics rules....)

The real best of the EU was written by masters, some of whom I believe are now deceased. The Thrawn books, I, Jedi, Outbound flight, The Medstar Dualogy, even the entire 'Vong part of the former canon was generally well written.
