There’s parts I don’t like, but there’s some parts I really like; I like more of the EU’s silliness and Disney’s schlock. The EU’s batting average of likable stuff is in the major leagues as opposed to Disney less-than-little league’s score of remotely likable things. It’s not like now where EVERYTHING Disney makes has to try and desperately cram itself into the new canon, and nothing new (unless it’s Lego) can be non-canon, and everything somehow has to tie into the crappy sequel trilogy somehow, because the mouse dictates it so, and there’s no creativity from people, everything has to be pre-approved by Disney, and there can be no deviation, basically making it where there’s no point for authors or writers to even do their jobs, if everything has to pinpoint and file into certain events set in stone.
I mean, there were multiple different ways the Death Star plans were stolen in the EU, and you can pick which one you liked the most, or you could believe that they all stole different parts to the plan, then the Rebel Alliance pieced then together. Which makes more sense than how it is in Disney canon, because, for s massive “laser of doom” decive, compartmentalization would be more sound.
In the old EU, there were even “what if X character had survived” and “what if X character had died” and “what if X had happened instead of Y” kind of stories. In Disney, it’s all like “No fun what-ifs! Only Mouse-approved canon!”
