VII-IX actually did get into the expanded universe, but, AFAIK, only as comics, not novels.
And, in fact, the emperor returns from the grave by possessing clones he had made in advance. He turns Luke to the dark side, and Leia turns him back, and together they destroy the emperor.
Not that that affects this post one iota, just a tangent.
