No you can say what you feel of course. Personally to me thats sort of in the same vein as someone who would say that For Whom the Bell Tolls the movie is much better book. I would have to disagree fervently but I'm sure someone out there believes that.
I use this as an example because in the case of movies being turned to books there is not a real fair comparision. I've never read a Star Trek novel, because Star Trek bores the hell out of me.
I think that alot (not all) of people who actually like the EU better never really appreciated what it took for Star Wars to be created, much less sucessful. Its alot easier to write a novel about a world that has already been created then it is to come up with your own ideas, your own characters, factions, etc.
To me these authors have been given so much and have done so little, it sad

Impressive. You manage to make sense from time to time. Keep it up.
For me there's a simple rule... comics are OK, novels suck. Big time. That said, I will admit the only TotJ series I didn't find painful to read was 'Redemption'. The new comics 'Republic', 'Jedi', and the Jango Fett series are pretty good. But nothing compares to the movies, period.
