Surprise, surprise! Disney is getting serious with the canon universe of Star Wars. Selected quotes from the op-ed:
| “ | A sci-fi universe with as long a tail as Star Wars can be death for new stories, though. Finding space among the EU to make a mark without being hamstrung by established ideas is difficult, and even keeping the EU somewhat organized is challenging. Its growth has been cancerous—like a tumor, it has no plan and no organization—it simply expands, blindly, as the collective fan engine shovels in new material. | ” |
This would appear to be the route 343i is taking. The hole is getting deeper and deeper. Only time will tell when they'll realize this inevitability.
| “ | Most of the EU is simply layers and layers of garbage. It's filled with thinly veiled Mary Sue characters, ludicrous minutiae, and a ponderous and plodding history (past AND future) of the galaxy. It's creaky under its own weight, and [Leeland Chee]'s pruning is a welcome change. In him, Disney has a person who intimately understands the core elements of what makes Star Wars, Star Wars. | ” |
Unfortunately, the same can't be said with Frankie (imo, anyway). Who can take up the mantle of responsibly ensuring that canon are given coherent, reasonable explanation and within a realistic realm, and not bent for the sake of making sales? I'm not sure anymore.

TL;DR: EU sucks... sometimes. I strongly suggest reading the article rather than relying on the selected quotes. — subtank 08:29, 11 January 2014 (EST)
