I think the best way to deal with the EU, pre trilogies or post, is to do animated stuff. It's WAY cheaper than building sets, using CGI, etc. I loved the Clone Wars series and I think it would be incredibly possible and easy to make a KOTOR animated series. In that way, you can get amazing voice talent to cover people, even famous people. Look at all the Pixar flicks! I would love to see a post OT series like NJO or the events of Luke's first students in academy. Like I said above, that way we can get people who sound like Harrison Ford or Carrie Fisher to lend their voice talent. I think the only one who would do it is Mark Hamil: he's very down to Earth, it seems.
If I know anything about GL, it's that he will do whatever he can to keep this franchise going, even when he's dead and long gone
