Official Announcement about Star Wars EU

[҉]

"Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe."
Current EU will be "presented under the new Legends banner."

EU is going away, although future writers may use elements of it. Current EU will still be printed, but will be expressly labeled as non-canon ('Legends').

Shit.

The way I read it it might also mean that they are in general keeping stuff, but moving some elements around to better form a big picture.

Well shit. EU has some awesome stuff.

Screw the rules, EU is canon.

[Ivan2006]

I find it kinda interesting how they used "Heir to the Empire" for the image. Because that is pretty much one of the cornerstones of the EU.

Either going to be average or totally *. I bet the 1000 k'lii ACH owes me on it.
