@Grey: What work? Most of the EU were just crazy ideas GL had from time to time and wanted people to make, often having plot-changing ideas mid-production that would put even Monty to shame, and more often than not disregarded or defied existing canon, in some cases even the movies.

The Expanded Universe was a royal mess, to the point where the fandom had to make a long tier list of what counted and didn't count as canon and how much, and even then it was still a royal mess that defied itself every time.

Disney did the right choice there, to start from stratch instead of trying to salvage that trash of the titans. It's just fanboys being fanboys, too caught in their fanboyism and nostalgia, to look at the bigger picture and acknowledge that.
