I see that shit so much among these EU spergs. Just shows they don't have a brain cell or ounce of rational thought to rub together.

Can't watch any of these for more than a couple of minutes. All he does is REEEE REEEE REEEEE without ever actually coming to any point.
Guaranteed he'll be in a cinema on 15 December violently hate-fapping to Rogue One.

I actually do prefer KOTOR 1 and 2 over the original films (needless to say, I don't like the prequels)., personally. However I'm more into video games than film, so that probably explains it. They're also the only expanded universe stuff I've ever interacted with

Fuck Disney for making this non-canon

Pardon me if this has been asked before, but why are EU cultists so outraged that EU is no longer canon? A story can still be told and enjoyed regardless of its' canon status.

Because Luuke Skywalker and Luuuke Skywalker were their favorite characters and wanted to see them on the big screen next to Luke Skywalker.

Well for one thing, it's probably not going to see much support. With the exception of The Old Republic MMO, I don't think anything Legends related has been produced since the Disney Purge.

To be honest though, there have been nods to the EU and references to it.
For example, my sister got the Rogue One visual encyclopaedia for Christmas, and I had a read of it. The biggest example I can give, is a nod to the novel Death Troopers, on the page talking about the Rogue One's death troopers.

That's not exactly referencing a crowning achievement of the original EU.

I know they've been mining the old EU for ideas, but the complaints are that that's not enough,

I for one wouldn't mind seeing a movie where Luke Skywalker's great-grandson, Cade Skywalker runs around snorting space drugs to keep Luke Skywalker's ghost from appearing and nagging him to save the world. It would be one of those so bad it's hilarious movies.

Disney's corporate decision has eradicated an entire plane of existence in one swift blow, creating a great disturbance in the force with millions of voices crying out in terror and being silenced suddenly.

I've just finished reading Thrawn, Timothy Zahn's latest novel about the man himself and the first one in the new continuity. The book came out a few days early in the UK and I recently had an eight-hour flight, hence how I've already read it.
Before I get into the book, I'll just say how I felt about season three of Rebels and Thrawn's role in it.
I thought season three was a real mixed bag. I'd venture to say it was the weakest season of Rebels thus far. It did pick up in its second half where there was some good stuff, but I hope season four is an improvement. The first half of the season was very dull and just felt like it was spinning its wheels in preparation for the cool stuff in the second half.
As for Thrawn, he also didn't really come into his own until the second half of the season, but the battle during the finale was where I finally felt like I was watching a Zahn novel televised and it was absolutely worth the wait.
I'll put this part under a spoiler because... spoilers:
With that out of the way, here's my thoughts on Thrawn.
I found Thrawn to be a very entertaining novel and Zahn hasn't lost any of the old narrative brilliance which makes him my favourite Expanded Universe author. I wouldn't rank Thrawn up there with the Thrawn trilogy or Outbound Flight but it's a worthy entry and a great introduction if you've never heard of Thrawn. Also, with a little bit of mental gymnastics, you can just about make it fit in the Legends continuity if you so desire.
There's a few Easter eggs here and there relating to the old Thrawn novels, but not as many as I was expecting and some of them are quite obscure.
I was originally a little sad to hear Pellaeon wouldn't be in the book, but I ended up liking Eli Vanto almost as much and seeing Thrawn's dynamic with a younger officer was interesting. I did have a bit of trouble taking his name seriously though, mainly because of

I'm also really pleased they didn't kill Thrawn off and I'm really interested to see what his role will be going forward.

We learn in the book that rather than being found by a gang of smugglers originally, Thrawn was first encountered by Anakin Skywalker. I sort of wish we'd seen this in the book at some point. It would have made a really great prologue, but I suppose some of the mystique behind it would be lost.
Additionally, we learn Thrawn joined the Empire to defend the Chiss against some unspecified threat in the Unknown Regions. We never learn what this threat is. I'm assuming it's not the Yuuzhan Vong, but I'm also worried that thread could go unresolved. Zahn's wanting to write more Thrawn books, so we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm sure at this point it's just an unspecified threat until corporate decides they should go with, but if they brought them back the butthurt would be sooooooooooooo fucking glorious.

from what I can tell from the books that I've read in the current canon, there's something very important that's going on in the Unknown Regions (after the Battle of Jakku, Imperial forces reconvened there to establish what would become the First Order). I doubt that it will be the Vong, but something tells me it has to do with Supreme Leader Snoke.
