  • Chapter 4 of Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. Adapted into a short fanfilm.
    The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy.
    Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights.
    But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic....

      @@brittanybecker170 "Hated" it so much that he introduced entire worlds and characters from the EU into the prequel films with their entire descriptions, names, characteristics, backstories, etc. intact such as Aalya Secura, Coruscant, the entire Mandalorian Language, Kyber crystals, and even Boba Fett. "Hated" it so much that entire events from the EU were referenced and outright mentioned as early as even Empire Strikes Back.
      "After Star Wars was released, it became apparent that my story-however many films it took to tell-was only one of thousands that could be told about the characters who inhabit its galaxy. But these were not stories that I was destined to tell. Instead, they would spring from the imagination of other writers, inspired by the glimpse of a galaxy that Star Wars provided. Today, it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga."
      ―George Lucas, from the introduction of Splinter of the Mind's Eye, 1996
      "Over the years, many artists and designers have contributed to the articulation of the various universes of Lucasfilm. Taking their cues from the minimal words of description on a script page, these talented men and women have sketched, drawn and/or modeled creatures of magnificent breadth, unimaginable terror, and mind-boggling eccentricity. Some of these creatures have made it into film, while others, because of the way stories unravel, have not (so far). But this does not mean they do not exist. For once something is created, no matter what the context, it takes on a life of its own."
      ―Foreword written by George Lucas in Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas
      For someone who "Hated" the EU, George Lucas praised the authors and artists quite frequently, incorporated many of the EU works into the films, and was even directly involved with some of them, even guided the EU from behind the scenes, and heavily involved when he was not directly involved. The EU was just as much George Lucas' "Baby" as the films.
      The Disney content, however, he hates, even calling Disney "White Slavers" after the showing of TFA.

      Timothy Zahn wrote better dialogue ("Do you know the difference between an error and a mistake?" vs "I don't like sand"), has a better story structure, better character development (Mara Jade vs Episode II Anakin; not Clone Wars Anakin, who got great development though) etc.
      Where Lucas ist superior is worldbuilding, general ideas and concepts ( Lucas creating the very idea for Star Wars vs Zahn only writing books in it ; the concept for the prequels was genius, making it a tragedy a good idea, though it was executed poorly) and story outlines.
