In regards to the "What will they do with the EU" question, I think they'll simply set Episode VII at whenever they're at now in the books (40 years after ROTJ). Even if it blatantly ignores everything that's happened, they can at least retcon certain things easier than just saying "oh yeah, by the way, Episodes VII VIII and IX happened only 20 years after Jedi and the characters just NEVER mentioned it afterward."
If that happens, I will commit metaphorical murder/suicide.
