I like Star Wars, but my background lore mostly comes from reading wookiepedia pages from when I was a kid. Ive read up on some of the EU stuff. Mostly Dark Empire, which Disney seemed to be heavily inspired by (wellin relation to one character in particular).

How involved was the big guy with any of that older stuff? I saw a spoof video on YouTube that was pretty funny once, but the implication is that he hated certain aspects of it. Specifically, Mara Jade. So, did he just let writers do whatever? I know George can be quite protective of his IP, so how could a character he hated exist? Or is it some inside joke?

Speaking of dark empire, that one confuses me. Ian Mcdirmond (probably spelled that wrong) once asked George after RotJ if the empires was somehow alive, to which George somewhat interested responded with No. Hes dead. Hes not coming back. Or something to that affect. Yet, he does return in Dark Empire. So was that his idea, or just Lucas Arts letting people do whatever?
