Disney did not de-canonize the Expanded Universe. Because it NEVER was officialy canon.

From the first Zahn trilogy they said (Lucasfilm) that if Lucas ever wanted to make movies set after ROTJ the stories could be totaly different.

Don't tell these guys that. They'll have your head.

Hehe. Well, they can twist the truth as much as they want. Truth is: when I read Heir to the Empire in the 90's I knew those books were just cool "what if" stories. And I never really thought otherwise since then.

Of course some ideas from the books can enventualy be used in the movies if Lucas (and now Disney) thinks it's okay. But believing that the stories from those books would automaticaly be used as the basis for new movies was against what they said from the start. It could have been an option though. But it was not "canon" in the sens that those stories were "writen in stone". They never were.
