New Jedi Order. Just New Jedi Order. The start of the era where the EU had to be dark and grim because supposedly that was the only thing people read. Even though that isn't what Star Wars was and nothing about these books felt like Star Wars. Even though there was character assassination left and right. And the awesome female characters we had became all about their relationships and no longer the focus. Mara's story was her illness and wanting a child. Jaina got some story, but a lot of it was about romance and Jacen became more important than her. Leia took a backseet to Han.

let's have it be UBER DARK AND GRIM AND GRITTY because that's so MATURE AND ADULT. and that's why people watch star wars, amirite?

Agreed. Say what you will about things like The Crystal Star, but at least they were still Star Wars. NJO was not.
