That must mean that the new star wars comic series is cancelled as well right along with all post Jedi stories by Del Rey.

Have zero interest in  Disney's rebels or their own comics.  They cancelled the EU and its the only thing that kept star wars alive for twenty something years unless the prequels is a high point for you, for me it was not.

That is not to say the Del Rey stuff has been great its really been shit since LOTF and FOTJ, still the Disney deal really kills any future Zahn books that might have featured Mara. 

Well she no longer exists in the Disney continuity.  Doubt they will let the Zahn trilogy go out of print and try and erase if from history like Lucas did the oot. 

But no more stories will be told in the old EU prime universe.  Its gone and replaced with whatever Disney is replacing it with much like replacing the real star trek with the JJ version.

I'll be furious if legacy series II is cancelled.  Just when i have started to begin to enjoy it.  It belongs to a continuity set after Return of the Jedi that is part of the Zahn post rotj EU. 

The Dark Horse comics continuity going away Is just more proof that the EU as we knew it which began with Heir to the Empire is basically gone.

Which kept me a fan of star wars post return of the jedi.  No fan of Lucas prequels though the EU prior to 1999 made me at least in a mind set to give them a chance  even if the outcome was not too good.

The only EU i wish was no longer canon or erased is the prequels not the Zahn trilogy, or Dark Empire, NJO, legacy etc.

The New Disney continuity is going to break up and put at odds an already fractured fan base.  The oot saga fans VS special editions vs prequel saga fans is going to be added on to Disney VII-IX saga fans.
