I'm not optimistic. If there's one thing to like about George Lucas, it's that he doesn't mind fan creations using his ideas, while Disney is the exact opposite. Popular creations such as Ryan vs Dorkman, Darths and Droids and the EU books? Disney will slap copyrights and lawsuits on that shit as quickly as possible. Say goodbye to those Chad Vader videos you enjoy.
That comment is both overused and is in terrible taste.

Off-topic, but don't you guys think that chances should be given before we judge? Lucas' main creative squash balls of the 70s-80s went missing, plus the lack of his other devil's advocate, his estranged ex-wife, compiling into the Bollywood romance that was Anakin and Padme, plus poorly-executed plot additions.
Let's give Disney a shot at this. We were complaining when they grabbed Marvel, but we've seen Avengers and most of the publics and critics were giving it reasonable praise.
We can complain when it sucks balls, but let's just wait for the time being and give them their shot at this.

Is there actual confirmation or just as rumor? Sure some books were terrible, some deaths were really unnecessary but there are those that some consider very good (Thrawn trilogy among them), and would be really pissed to see them non-canon.
Personally I don't see Disney throwing away the books, mainly because they still make money.

They could enact a two-tier system like Star Trek did. Books are allowed, but are non-cannon. There's still an EU that can be drawn from it's just ... not canon.
That said, I could accept them declaring some things non-canon. The Crystal Star was dumb, the Yuuzhan Vong series was ... bad, Anakin Solo's fall to the dark side can easily be written off. And let's not even touch the Young Jedi series or the silliness that some of the very early EU unleashed (though that is generally ignored, it's still, technically part of canon ... yes, that does include Trioculus and the Glove of Darth Vader, among others).
Not necessarily. Using Star Trek as an example, even if the events in them aren't canon, there's still games. Besides, a broad reset would allow Disney to pick and choose what to keep and what not to keep. The Old Republic and the preceeding Knights of the Old Republic can easily be kept, even if they decide to scrap most of the EU. After all, Disney is likely to focus around the area of the Original Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy, something that occurs some thousands of years earlie can be retained without too much bother.
