I wonder what their position is on the pre TPM EU is?  Are things like Old Republic considered canon?

Reading the article, it sounds like old canon is still canon unless something Disney plans/does over-writes it.  Then it becomes a 'Legends' universe story. 

For instance, if they do end up making a 'young Han Solo' movie, I imagine that'd nuke all the existing young Han Solo books (Daley Han Solo Adventures; Crispin Han Solo Trilogy; etc).

I think the article only calls out post-ROTJ because Ep7/8/9 is the only thing they've officially announced so far.  Once other things get announced, more and more of the "pre-Disney" EU will become 'Legends' EU.

Lucasfilm finally confirms it - the existing post-ROTJ EU is out. 

They're not discarding it completely, it'll live on as an "alternate universe" type thing under the Star Wars Legends branding. 

2-2, so I can officially be friends with Ryan again (for a few days anyway).

My sister had the game 3 tickets, so me and my dad went to Xcel for game 4 tonight.  Crazy atmosphere, crazy the way the Wild owned the Avs and yet bared squeaked by them again tonight.  I think we outshot the Avs 78-34 over the two games here in St. Paul.

Really, really hurts now that we let that Game 1 slip away after going up 4-2 after two...   

We'll start off a new thread for these as well...

Man, this line just looks cool.  Wish they were cheaper... but I understand why they cost so much.

Tempting...

That's what a lot of folks were hoping, but the Disney blog author confirmed the price in the comments and it's what they're charging when ordering a 16" figure online (an option only for those who have a D-Tech Me scan on file with Disney).
