The Republic Commando books? One of my favorite series of all time, and it went well and had tie-ins to the game LUcas made money off of. Knights of the Old Republic? Those comics tied in some cool things to the games Lucas made money off of. If they're going to continue to use it to make money, at least do the fans the honor of keeping it canon, it kinda just makes me feel like me AND Lucas need a donut to sit on after what he did for Disney…
Why do you keep blaming Lucas? He's nothing more than a powerless consultant now. He has no real say over what happens with the brand anymore. Disney owns it outright and is trimming a lot of the mess caused by having so many hands in the pot.
To pick and choose a "this and that" as official canon just wasn't a feasible option. Chances are no matter what was picked, it would be contradicted somewhere by something else. They didn't want to be pigeon holed into specific obscure timelines and story threads while moving forward.
Star Wars is what any fan wants to make of it. there's enough out there for anyone to find something in the SW universe to call their own. But the new owners shouldn't be handcuffed by contributions that serve as inconsistencies in the lore. By encasing that stuff under the "Legends" or "Legacy" banner (I forget what they're calling it), they allow that stuff to now exist as its own thing without the need to reconcile plots or details that don't jive together.
