I don't recall if it was this thread or another similar thread, but there have been some pretty dopey things happen in the EU that will hopefully never see screen time. Some of those books have been downright awful.
What truly sucks about that is that the prequels were complete and utter dogshit. Now they are canon.

Correct me if I'm wrong though, wasn't the graphic novel Dark Empire actually included in the canon by Lucas himself? Seems like I had heard that somewhere.
