I just think it would have created an unnecessary burden on the filmmakers. I think it was better to start with a clean slate rather than have the burden of the EU, however good it was.
It wouldn’t be that to have someone say that they can and can’t do. Especially if you cut out a majority of the EU which is meh - shit anyway. There’s only a few things I would keep as absolute necessities.
And I don’t think it even matters if they’re canon or not if you can still buy them, though this comes from a guy whose personal cannon only consists of the movies.
Speaking of the films novels like Darth Plagueis makes Midichlorians a fascinating concept and made the politics and Anakin being Space Jesus tolerable. The Darth Bane Trilogy made the Rule of Two established in TPM make sense. We need stuff like this to improve the Saga as a whole.
