If they can make the Yuuzhan Vong not REALLY evil, but misunderstood and some kind of a refugee allegory, they’ll do it. In fact, we should encourage them to do it.
I recently read the NJO so maybe by comparison to what Star Wars has become it isn’t so bad. It’s definitely a darker tone. If I was adapting something I’d do thrawn trilogy and an animated Crispin solo trilogy. They should’ve used the Kenobi book as a blueprint. Also the Jedi students or Jaina would make for a good adaptation. I liked NJO but I’m more lenient now on older stuff considering the modern day. I was getting ready for the military when it came out so I remember the debates in the forums. I enjoy the EU for the most part. What would you adapt?
The Thrawn trilogy would make a perfect sequel trilogy, certainly compared to the one we got. YJK would make a good kids or YA TV series, and there's enough material in those books to keep it going for several seasons. Those books were the pinnacle of the EU as far as I'm concerned.
The Yuuzhan Vong ruined everything. They were in every way an expression of proto-woke Millennial nihilism, and they didn't belong in Star Wars.
And then used it anyway.
And made it extremely stupid.
To be fair, if they faithfully adapt the Yuuzhan Vong, it will tank Star Wars into negative billions.
The EU was great for the first 20 years. Then it dug it's own grave.
