Well given that Leland Chee and others have established ranks of cannon, then there is a slight chance. Its not my fault or any other SW fan who grew up post-seventies that there is a massive gulf of time/discrepancy in the flow of events from the OT and the events that came before.

Lucas should've assumed that what he was building would transcend even the original trilogy. In bringing up the Clone wars (which may have been only a passing mention), he should've assumed that there was a much larger history to the broad setting he created. The EU to varying degrees fulfills this and while I adore the Original trilogy, it fulfills other wonders/musings I've had at the SW universe by and large. Disney at least seems to recognize that the world beyond the OT should be corrected/expanded on, and even if its made and reworked to be entirely separate from the OT, I am ok with this. Keep what works, discard what doesn't work.
