I think that the Zahn trilogy would make a great Episodes VII-IX if
Lucas was stuck for ideas, but I also know that he could just as easily
sweep it all way if he wanted.  The new series of novels that started this
year under the new publisher are worth reading, if just to get a Star Wars
story with a darker side to it.  The X-Wing series are the best of the group
though, IMHO.

I like the look of the new Jedi books, but haven't had the time to read
anything, let alone something new.  Maybe will all of these reccomendations
I'll change that.

Lucas is going to be dead by the time he finishes with Eps. 2&3.  As has
been mentioned here, his current vision is the rise and fall and redemption
of Anakin.  He's not going to be touching anything after this storyline,
which is part of the reason he's so open to everything all of the authors
have come up with from Zahn on.  I've also heard stories of all of the new
authors having meetings a few times a year to discuss ideas, characters, and
continuity.  Wouldn't it be a treat to be a fly-droid on the wall there.
