I think it's more they use his word, because the various authors somewhat...'followed' his word. But not really, because the only thing I really recall them following was that the prime of the Jedi was the PT era.

But yeah, Lucas' word really would only apply to the movies themselves without anything added to it.

You are exactly right. TCW was Lucas' creation, and his regard for the EU -- or, lack thereof -- is notorious. He wrote his own stories, without regard for what lesser writers had already laid out. Filoni following suit.

The Clone Wars Multi-Media project and accompanying lore pretty much mapped most of what occurred between Episodes II & III in the years before Lucas decided to make his own show.

Some more examples besides Durge, Ventress, Aurra, Maul, Ahsoka, Anakin and Grievous would be Savage Opress, A'Sharad Hett, Mother Talzin, Dooku's mindset toward Sidious, Sora Bulq, Quinlan Vos, Cad Bane, the battle of Hypori, how homogenous the Black Sun is, the battle of Kamino, Dooku's Dark Jedi acolytes, Mace's general personality, Mandalore, Dutchess Satine, and Barriss Offee.

Agreed, also Lucas has even said that EU is not his universe, but a parallel one, I just dont get when people try to use what he says and treat is as WoG for EU, when man himslef does not even intend that and it often makes no sense in EU
