Im mad because it doesnt make sense.

Im not ready to ditch 35 years of stories to the trash bin.
Okay some of it is bad, really bad or extremely bad.
It doesnt always interconnect, sure.
One novel the character is dead, and the next one he's alive even though the story happens after the character's death!

What makes Disney think they'll do better in their new EU?
how else to call that?

What I dont get is which part they've thrown away? all of it or only what happens after the movies?

What about Darth Plagueis story? Darth Bane, Satele Shan, the first Jedi Purge, the training of Obi-Wan Kenobi? everything before Anakin?

What about the training of Anakin? if the Universe of Star Wars is about him, what's wrong with the books that describes his training years?

They want to do stories about Rebels that didnt existed before, so whats the difference, thats adding to the canon, so EU. do Stories about these characters, where is the story of Anakin in all this? EU?
They'll have to tell us where those Inquisitors come from, I mean they look great, but they didnt appeared of nowhere!

there must be something I dont understand about all this, can someone make it clear!?

They only eliminated Post-Return of the Jedi EU.  I think.  I know for a fact that they explicitly stated that Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 are canon, as is The Old Republic.  Except for Shadow of Revan, that they explicitly said is non-canon.  Which, if you think about it means that Revan canonically never died.  Just disappeared...

Fortunately, the new owners (or at least writers for them) of Star Wars are fans of Revan and KoTOR.
