Bleah...with VERY rare exceptions, I cannot stomach the EUwwwwwwwwwwwww, any era.
The authors definitely have a messiah complex, and also seem to be interested only in their own OCs. Or in Zahn's. Zahn is the worst when it comes to inserting his own OCs into areas they don't belong, and raising them in importance to the level of the Big Three, etc. But the rest of the authors are like in AWE of Zahn, and don't want to write anything that would displease His Highness. They show him more respect than they show Lucas, who only, you know, CREATED the story.
Someone EUwwwwwwwnik on some message board said she hated how Lucas ignored the continuity that the EUwwwwwwwww laid down for the PT-era events, saying he should have "shown the authors more courtesy." Excuse me? He invited them to his playground, not the vice versa. Some EUthors actually get offended that he's overridden what they established. Authors that sensitive shouldn't be authors, particularly not for series.
Others, like Grand Admiral Zahn, simply ignore Lucas and pretend that their own continuity overrides his, and anyway, their story is better. Ego much, Zahn? During a chat, someone asked a question which mentioned the Original Trilogy, and Zahn actually said, "Do you mean my books, or the Original Trilogy of movies?" :-O
