Lit If you could undo ONE EU thing, what would be it (no recent release spoilers)

If you could undo one thing what would be it?

Please NO SPOILERS FROM RECENTLY RELEASED WORKS (LAST 6-12 MONTHS) AND NO SPOILERS FROM UP COMING WORKS. Not everyone is entirely up to date with the on goings and so forth

For me, i think it would be how they did the who Jacen solo thing, basically from swarm war and until LOTF i hated it, they made him seem like a god, and he fell for such a poorly executed reason, and because of this, heck ill focus on his fall, he lost one of the best toons in the EU (mara jade) we lost a novel by Timothy Zhan based after LOTF about Mara, luke and ben on a trio adventure, (yep that was gunna happen) and because of that, we had a FOTJ (i liked the series, however i thought his self exile was lame, he could of just chosen to fallow jacens path if he wanted to, to see what jacen learned, ) id asume Jacen would still be alive post FOTJ had he not fallen, who knows.

I wish that I could destroy anything from Dark Nest onward. I do wish that they hadn't killed Anakin Solo. Their lame excuse was well the prequels are coming out and now we have two characters with the name Anakin and their last names both begin with 'S' and we can't have fans getting confused about who we're talking about.

i actually enjoyed darknest for some sick demented reason, i agree about anakin thing also, but i didnt like him as a character as much as Mara,

I was going to say "anything having to do with the Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus mess", but the words have been taken right out of my mouth. Basically, yeah -- anything Dark Nest onward. But if it has to be ONE thing, I'd pick the Dark Side Jacen fiasco.

Still Dark Empire

Bringing back the Sith post-RotJ, I suppose. Luckily Nihl wasn't born Sith.

Traviss's trampling of Spar's backstory.

Go back in time and stop Del Rey from hiring Troy Denning.

Either TCW, or as others have said, from Dark Nest onward. I can't stand what they have done with the post-NJO time period and this TCW mania.

For a specific thing, definitely either wasting a fine character in Anakin Solo or the dark side Jacen Solo fiasco.

There's not really anything I'd want to see vanish, to be honest; I just want them to bring back a medium for people like Abel to utilise to fix things with inventive retcons.

Curious... without Dark Empire, there is no Anakin Solo; without Anakin Solo, there is no death of Anakin Solo; with no death of Anakin Solo, there is no vengeful Jacen Solo.

Yup. The path to ruin began in Dark Empire.

*puts on asbestos coat*

I would really, really like to undo Lucas's veto of Luke's death in Vector Prime.

No Hutt Space either but it is a price I am willing to pay for not having Palpatine come back.

luke dying at vecter prime would be so wrong. Luke does not need to die!!! I do think i would undo Jacen falling to the dark side, or at least have him redeemed

The greatest travesty in the EU is that Han and Leia outlive two of their three children.

I agree. Hell, even George Lucas regrets sending Fett off that way (though then again, he began to regret Maul's death when he noticed he could be making some money )

Still, I believe that episode at the Sarlacc Pit works much, much better as a humiliating defeat than it does a death. After all, we would not have the truly excellent Last One Standing story if not for Fett's survival.

If Luke died in the NJO, it definitely shouldn't have been in the first book, IMO. If it had to happen, it would work much better as a middle-of-the-arc thing, as with Anakin Solo.

Yeah. This one is really terrible. Not only that, had either children lived we wouldn't have had Allana in the Falcon book after book.

Chewie's death.
Palps coming back as a clone.

How is Chewie's death generally received among the Jedi Council forums members? I don't know if I'm in the minority or not, but I honestly think Chewie's death was a great thing. Looking back on it, he seems an obvious choice, but also almost too easy; like killing the family dog (which is pretty much guaranteed to get an emotion out of the audience, even if it is often a cheap shot). Still, it definitely made its point, and he really was only an accessory in all the previous novels (hell, he's pretty much an accessory in the movies).

I can only imagine what the fan reaction would have been if it had been Luke instead of Chewie.

R. A. Salvatore (or however you spell his name) would still be receiving hate mail and wouldn't be able to step out of his house without worrying about something.
