I agree with you to a degree. I spent many hours reading EU books. I read all the big ones, the whole New Jedi Order, and stopped on the last book of the Legacy of the Force series (it was spoiled and I disagreed with the ending so I never finished it). 

However, it's part Lucas' fault for just approving everything while holding onto this script (which it seems like half of is making its way into this trilogy) that he never said he wouldn't have made. Ultimately, he always said, and Timothy Zahn said this about him, that while he approved stuff, the only true cannon was ever his word.
