I still laugh anytime someone tries to tell me how the expanded universe was just amazing and brilliant, and how the sequel Trilogy was a complete insult to it.

"The expanded universe would never bring back Sidious or have a girl like Leia be a Jedi!!11"

I will however admit that the extended Universe would never have made Boba Fett look like the world's most naive and unassuming Grandpa.

So like Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid? (Until they retconned it, anyway.)
