I think that depends on how anal you are about what qualifies as EU.
I personally prefer the EU (even though I enjoyed TFA), but having said that I completely ignore anything added post 1999 (e.g. TPM). Anything related to Darth Plageuis, midichlorians, universe shrinking, etc, etc, I can’t stand, but I still don’t think that the Disney EU will ever manage to live up to SW in the 90’s.
(PS, I saw SW for the first time in 2000, so I’m not just being nostalgic here.)
What’s canon or not doesn’t really bother me, I just like it if it’s good, even if it contradicts other stories. As far as I’m concerned the only true canon is the OT, the rest is just bonus material.
So in the future I’ll enjoy both TFA and stuff like the Thrawn trilogy, regardless of the fact that they contradict each other, and I’ll keep ignoring the PT of course.
