Plus, in the old EU a great deal of the "canon" contradicted other canon anyway, keeping track of what was canon and what wasn't considered canon anymore was a complete pain.

Yes, some aspects of the EU was due for 'reconsideratio'n (I.E. The Dark Empire Saga)...

But I still think they could have benefitted from doing 'precision surgery', instead of going for the  'Alderaan-Superlaser' method in dealing with it.

Still, what's done is done; and all we can optimistically hope for the best in the new Disney-sanctioned canon.
