Because they wanted to use Lucas' materials for the sequels because the fandom wouldn't shut up about wanting them to respect "Lucas' vision".

Conveniently forgetting that they hated the Prequel trilogy until Clone Wars and that Lucas himself hated the EU and said it was non-canon repeatedly.

They also conveniently forgot that Luke,Leia and Han were all pushing 70-80 because real people aren't ageless like drawings and text on paper and that we were never going to relive their adventures like it was still 1983.

I've never envied Disney's position with Star Wars no matter what they did the fandom was going to crucify them.

There's a very good reason why anyone involved in Star Wars who interacts with the Star Wars fandom comes away hating it.
