    *slowly* Ah.
    Well look at it from their point of view. When the new movies come out, it's likely gonna make a lot of books non-canon anyways. So they're just thinking "out with the old, in with the new" and fire the Death Star on the whole thing.
    It makes sense.
    In a soulless, computer kind of way.

      Quite fitting that this is the company that owns the Dark Side now then.

        They better make their Sith cool.
        I'll be very annoyed if they don't.

          Fortunately the good thing about Disney is despite the insidious grip they keep on their franchises, they do tend to let producers and writers who have a lot of passion for their respective projects take the reigns.

                  A Work in progress................

                  A long time ago
                  I can still remember how the EU used to make me smile
                  And if I knew I had my chance
                  That I could make those fans still dance
                  And maybe they'd be happy for awhile
                  But the LGS makes me shiver
                  With every story they delivered
                  Bad news for fandom
                  I couldn't take more crap-dom.
                  I can't remember if I cried
                  when Mara's made a widowed bride
                  But something touched me deep inside
                  The day, the EU died.

                  So bye-bye Mister blue skin guy
                  Drove my X-wing to Bakura
                  but Bakura was fried
                  And those Noghri guys were wiped out from the skies
                  Crying this is the day when we died
                  This is the day that we died.

                  Did you write the book of Zhan
                  and do you have faith in the fans
                  If Lucas tells you so
                  Do you still believe in EU soul
                  Can we save your story goal
                  And can you teach me how to read real slow
                  Well, I know that you're in love with crap
                  cause you rode along that gungan trap
                  You both kicked off your style
                  For money packed a mile high
                  I was a SW loving freak
                  With a lightsaber and a ton of cheek
                  But I knew I could no longer speak
                  the day the EU died.

                  So bye-bye Mister blue skin guy
                  Drove my X-wing to Bakura
                  but bakura was fried
                  And those Noghri guys were wiped out from the skies
                  crying this is the day when we died
                  This is the day that we died.

                    Works for me, Gatefan1976.

                    I'm certain I know the sing but I'm drawing a big blank.

                        So even the parts that were developed by Lucasfilm or its subsidiaries are non-Disney canon now? Clone Wars? The Force Unleashed?

                          Good rule of thumb: If it's been shown in a cinema or on tv it's canon, everything else... isn't.

                          ...We're not counting the Star Wars christmas special in this of course... Well unless you want to... Though if you do I think we all have to question your sanity.
