Personally, I love the EU. I love the EU almost as much as the original trilogy. Actually, I should say that I love specific PARTS of the EU, as I'm not blind to the fact that there is a LOT of filler and crap in the EU. There are plenty of awful novels, comics, games, and characters that I am glad are being wiped out of continuity. While I'm still not thrilled that the EU is being "erased", there's a lot I won't miss about it. I will mourn it's "destruction", but part of me sees this as the EU being euthanized

Plus, like Trebleshot said, the events of the EU technically aren't considered canon anyways. That never kept me from enjoying the Thrawn Trilogy or SW Legacy comics in the past, and it won't ruin my enjoyment of these, and other elements of the EU that I enjoy, in the future.

Furthermore, in a sense, I can rest easy knowing that (worst case scenario) if Disney tarnishes the Star Wars franchise with their new movies, the "original" EU will be hermetically sealed and will be safe from the potential negative effects of the new trilogy, lol.

So overall, it's a bittersweet feeling knowing that this flawed but wonderful part of the Star Wars universe is being eliminated.

Hopefully the new novels and comics that tie in to the new trilogy will be a worthwhile replacement.
