unless its on the Rebels show (and maybe Clone Wars?), nothing that wasn't in Eps. 1-VI is canon any more

Responses:

That's what I was wondering. I knew they had discounted most of the EU stuff but is there enough in the Rebels/Clone Wars to make things difficult - Kilbowl full of jelly Dec 21, 10:15 3
- One thing I'd love to see them do from Rebels/Clones is (spoilers) - Mel Profit Dec 21, 10:19 1
  - I'd be very surprised if she didn't show up at some point. -- nm - Endor Dec 21, 10:20
- I think whether an element is pulled from TV canon, or built new, they'll have to introduce it either way. -- nm - Endor Dec 21, 10:17
Correct, but there's plenty of existing non-movie canon in Clone Wars and Rebels. -- nm* - Endor Dec 21, 10:13 13
- (And the EU stuff can always be made canon by being included in new material.) -- nm - Endor Dec 21, 10:14 12
  - i think Disney's allegiance will be like 80-90% to the moviegoers who come out for the "saga" films - humbug Dec 21, 10:16 11
    - The specifically regarding (TFA spoilers) - Kilbowl full of jelly Dec 21, 10:19
    - Unlike Marvel, they have the chance to make it all...whereas they inherited decades of stuff from the MCU. - Will Hunting Dec 21, 10:18 9
      - If they're smart they'll cherry pick the best of the EU. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 21, 10:25 8
        
        Right, and then introduce those into the new continuity. - Will Hunting Dec 21, 10:29 6
        
        agreed. I mean we are talking about a guy who creatively and plausibly wrote a new version of Star Trek. - Mel Profit Dec 21, 10:32 5
        
        Is Abrams locked in for the long haul? -- nm - Kilbowl full of jelly Dec 21, 10:32 4
        
        I'd say it's more Kathleen Kennedy, no? President of LucasFilm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 10:35 2
        
        And she has all the different divisions talking to each other -- nm - Endor Dec 21, 10:37
        
        that's right. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 21, 10:37
        
        good question. I don't know the officials on that. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 21, 10:35
        
        Right, get some Mara Jade in there, throw in some allusions to Thrawn. -- nm* - Endor Dec 21, 10:27
