No, it wasn't. The EU had such AMAZING stories behind them, granted some were less than desirable... But many of them added so much to the lore of Star Wars.

Even the tale of Exar Kun has been done away with; something that I felt had long-running effects on the Jedi Order as a whole in terms of the way they operate.

They could have really benefitted from merely working new stories into the original EU, instead of carpetbombing it. Even worse, some of the new Disney-canon concepts seem to be slimmed-down concepts from the original EU

(I.E. The Marvel Princess Leia Comics' character, Evaan, is their attempt at making a replacement for Winter Celchu in the new canon)
