Love that. I made that declaration when I walked out the theater. I was actually excited about seeing Luke and to show how stupid I am when Disney bought Star Wars I thought they would use the expanded universe as source material.

They did in places.
Palpatine clones
Han and Leia's son turning Dark Side [although Ben is nowhere near as well written character as Jacen was and even his name was taken from Luke's son rather than Leia's since Leia had no fucking reason to name her child after Obi-Wan]
The Force Dyad being a rip off of the twin bond between Jacen and Jaina
An Imperial Remnant
They even brought back Boba Fett in other material
Problem is they also used Spaceballs as source material like with Finn and Rose getting arrested over a parking violation in TLJ.

I wish they had. Spaceballs is awesome! Of course, Spaceballs knows what it is and wants to be, unlike TLJ.
