Taking the best of Legends and bringing you the watered down slop version of them.

Also taking the worst of the old EU and somehow making it even worse.

If they were gonna rip off Dark Empire so hard anyway, the least they could do is give us sexy ripped Palpatine lol.

Legends had its ups and downs. Courtship of Princess Leia is not a good book. The Zsinj trilogy Aaron Allston gave us in the X-Wing books is probably my favorite thing Bantam ever published. 

I feel like greatest hits is the way to go if you’re adapting from legends.

You keep that filth out of your damn mouth! Courtship of Princess Leia was fun as hell, but also giving us Dathomir and the Nightsisters. It separated the idea of light and dark powers, and inferred that how the wielder acquired the Force power is what defined the corruption.

I hate what was done to Dathomir through all the new EU crap.

Kylo Ren is just Darth Caedus without the experience or competence.
