If Rinzler went through the trouble and did the research and already wrote the book on Episode I why would Disney just pull the plug.  That is nonsensical.

It makes perfect sense if you take Disney strictly at their word.  They killed the 3D releases of Episode II and III and Clone Wars cartoon because they said they wanted to focus on the OT timeframe in the lead up to Episode VII.  It's a marketing decision.  The thought, as I understand it, is that anything else (especially prequel) is an unwanted distraction from their OT message.

I assume the Old Republic was already a done deal with contracts at least a decade out, otherwise it too likely would have been delayed.
