New ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy Has No Ties to Expanded Universe, Lucasfilm Confirms

I really do feel sorry for those who thought that Lucas selling off the franchise meant fans might finally get some respect.

Honestly, I don’t blame them for sticking with the established films and the two recent animated series as canon. There are over 30 years of EU novels to try and contend with. It’s much easier to make the films the immovable objects in the Star Wars universe and let the EU be its own thing.
