Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
The whole Yuuzhan Vong series was just retcon after retcon. Then random Jedi would go Super Saiyan or other retarded shit. I hate my high school self for buying every book.

An extra reason this is a retarded retcon.
Knights of the Old Republic was released in 2003.
Revan going beyond the Galactic rim after fighting the war with Mandalorians, finds a threat to the Republic he/she knows they can not win. Goes Dark in a desperate attempt to find a way to bolster the Republics forces. This involves making use of Ancient Sith technology to build a fleet of warships, as well as attacking, taking over and restructuring the Jedi, and Republic into forces that can oppose the un-named threat.
(should be noted at this point, this threat was often theorized to be the Vong. Although, I don't think Drew has commented publicly.)
Outbound flight was published 2005.
It's just a rehash of Knights of the Old republic with Palpatine in the role of Revan.
SW:The Old Republic of course retcons Kotor1 and 2, establishing the inexplicably non-threatening Sith Emperor, and Empire.

The idea behind them as some "new enemy" wasn't bad, but the execution of 90% of that series was horrible. The stories never meshed well with all of the new authors, every other book the Super Saiyan shit would show up, and the characters just weren't consistently portrayed author to author.

When the Vong showed up is when I stopped buying any of the Star Wars novels. I remember being so super excited when Heir to the Empire came out because it was NEW Star Wars for the first time in ages (well that and I ran into Timothy Zahn at the Waldenbooks in the Mall who I knew from the local Dr Who fan club but thats a separate tale). It felt right and it felt fresh and I was thoroughly captivated since it seemed we would never ever get Episodes I-III. However after the original trilogy was done with and they brought in other authors and what would eventually become the EU things got all weird.
I am reminded of the old OLD pocket-books Star Trek novels from the early-mid 80s which crafted a very complex and surprisingly consistent world that was quickly rendered incompatible with "real Trek" when it returned with the Next Generation.
