I enjoyed reading the Extended Universe stuff. Some of it was great. Some of it was okay and some of the better ideas are being re-incorporated as canon. Zahn was the one who came up with Coruscant and Lucas used it in the prequels. With Zahn's new Thrawn books, the character and his species are now canon again.
Very early in the expanded universe Han and Leia had twins. If you've seen The Force Awakens its obvious why Disney needed to sweep all that stuff under the rug, haha.
