I've been getting back into the EU recently, all thanks to the Star Wars Versus Series-makers on Youtube like Jensaarai1 and Antoine Bandele, as well as the news of the Force Awakens first coming to my attention about a year ago. Ha! Puns! Oh how I am a sucker for puns. You sir/madam/neither if you don't conform to the gender binary have gained 8,000 awesome points. I've seen all the movies only once a looooong time ago. I did read some of the books of the expanded universe, and I watched all the shows on CN relating to that universe as well. However, I didn't become enthralled.

Indeed, this hype surrounding the new Stars Wars movie just motivates me to seriously research and study it. You seem to be über knowledgeable about Star Wars. This movie is supposed to negate the previous movies right? By previous, I am referring to the prequels, which a lot of people seem to dislike for some reason. Haha, I'm glad I was able to make your day. For future reference, I'm a (genuine) male. But sadly not a 'Sir', I have yet to be Knighted; though such a scenario is most unlikely.

HAH! ;)

The new Disney-sanctioned storylines merely do away with the Post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe stories, as well as (most) of the 'Old Republic'-era stories. The latter being in the air in terms of it's canonicity, due to some it's concepts being adapted into the new Disney stories.

In short, whether people like them or not, The Prequel Trilogy shall remain canon in Disney's new Trilogy; as well as other stories related to it.
