To be honest, I think the whole franchise is degenerating. There is something rotten about the whole EU which I fear will actually be the end of SW one day. It's degenerating into this commercial, superficial, extreme, every-thing-has-to-be-put-into-boxes-thing (and SWTOR hasn't made things better re the last boxes part). SW is moving further and further away from what made it SW in the first place. In a way, I wish they had just stopped with the original trilogy and a few NES games. On the other hand, I'm like the next fanboy who wants more more more until the abomination has become so big it tilts over and explodes.
