Hello! And welcome to six months ago. Glad you could catch up.
: Halo Reach is not canon, and THAT'S OKAY.
: Do your worst 343, we are ready.
I think that rebooting the EU is merely the sane reaction to twenty years of meandering, directionless storytelling, and not the only way to tell a good story.
The Star Wars Expanded Universe is a mess, having been written by a hundred authors with a hundred and fifty visions for the Star Wars universe. There are two decade's worth of multi-author story arcs that meandered on long after they'd run out of energy. And could you imagine trying to create movies that play well with the current fiction? Lucas had it easy with the prequels, because he only had vague hints to deal with.
And even through this lets Disney start out with a clean slate to tell excellent stories, they're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. This means that the Heir to the Empire trilogy and the Hand of Thrawn Duology are no longer canon, and won't be reprinted anymore. Words cannot express how awesome those books were. Timothy Zahn was God's gift to the Star Wars EU.
But maybe that's just my insomnia talking.
