Hint: Thrawn is GONE thankfully.
Well I must have missed that announcement, perhaps you'd care to quote it?

Thrawn has or at least will (maybe) be overridden by future continuity, so there is no potential for him to be used as a resource. In that sense you might say he has been "discarded" for being incorporated into the new continuity.

But that doesn't apply for everything else, you can't discard something you might implement in the future.

Fact of the matter is, Lucasfilm have said they are not discarding the EU, so they are not discarding the EU.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Zahn introduce the Chiss as a species?

In other words, wasn't Thrawn the very first Chiss ever written about in the EU by anybody?

Which would tend to mean that any idea of Chiss neutrality came afterwards?

Fact of the matter is, Lucasfilm have said they are not discarding the EU, so they are not discarding the EU.
Here:
Quote:
While Lucasfilm always strived to keep the stories created for the EU consistent with our film and television content as well as internally consistent, Lucas always made it clear that he was not beholden to the EU. He set the films he created as the canon. This includes the six “Star Wars” episodes, and the many hours of content he developed and produced in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. These stories are the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align.
Quote:
In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe. While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded. Creators of new “Star Wars” entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe. For example, elements of the EU are included in “Star Wars Rebels”. The Inquisitor, the Imperial Security Bureau, and Sienar Fleet Systems are story elements in the new animated series, and all these ideas find their origins in roleplaying game material published in the 1980s.
You were right that some elements will be taken but mostly we dont know how much.

I like my first quote because, it tells us the new trilogy will be something new, fresh not bound to EU so we will see new characters, some old elements like Chiss maybe but hopefully not like Thrawn I want something better.

Whether they try to remove the Old republic from star wars universe or not, it doesnt mean anything to me, i found/find most of the stories here closer to me than the movies them selves, Darth revan's story would make far better story than the maniac/half robot darth vader...

The Old Republic for ever and always!

The only things considered canon to the best of my knowledge, moving forward, are the released movies and the Clone Wars TV show. All other prior SW content, including all games, fan content, EU content and the like are now considered "legend" and no longer fall under the former "degrees of canon".

In other words, there is what is considered canon, and what is not. The movies and clone wars are canon, everything else is not, unless it is used in future products considered canon by Disney.

Like it or not, that is exactly how it is moving forward.
