I think most of the after prequel books were uncannonized.

I just hope they don't use any material from that terrible aftermath book. One of the only books I've started and never finished.

A lot of the old legacy star wars books weren't great, but I don't think Lucas film has set the bar too high with these new books.

I wouldn't normally be too afraid of them using material from books, but they seem to want the universes more tightly connected now.

I wonder if Favreau's movies will do any battle of jaku stuff. I could Google the timeline but I'm way too tired for that.

All the older / pre-Disney acquisition books were de-cannonized but I thought the more recent books were ok ... even still, even if not part of cannon, feels like it's been covered before

funnily I enjoyed the Aftermath trilogy (not the best written books but I thought some of the storyline was interesting and covers the battle of Jakku and sets the stage a bit for at least the setting of the Force Awakens

The Battle of Jakku took place in the year 5 ABY, so only like a year or so after Jedi - so if he is going 10 years after that, that would be like 13-15 ABY or so - when not much happen (other than Rey being born in 15 ABY) - so would be new stories

Here is a decent reference that I use when determining what new stuff to add to my reading/watching list

2014 reboot
"The thing with legends is that parts of them are true."
―John Jackson Miller[src]
On April 25, 2014, after a year of ownership by the Walt Disney Company, a StarWars.com press release confirmed that the films of the sequel trilogy would not adhere to the post–Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe,[12] with further comments from LucasBooks Senior Editor Jennifer Heddle confirming that the EU as a whole is no longer considered canon. The EU has been re-termed "Legends," with related publications remaining in print under that banner.

Since then, the only previously published material still considered canon are the six original trilogy/prequel trilogy films, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series and film, and the stand-alone Dark Horse Comics arc Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir; which was based on unproduced scripts from The Clone Wars TV series.[1] Most material published after April 25—such as the Star Wars Rebels TV series along with all Marvel Star Wars comic books and novels beginning with A New Dawn—is also considered part of the new canon, on account of the creation of the Lucasfilm Story Group, which currently oversees continuity as a whole. Characters under the Legends banner are still available for use as needed, even if events concerning them are no longer canon.

Exceptions
The following material, although released after April 25, 2014, is not considered canon:

 
Water management is key in Florida especially in former swampy areas once you start clearing top soil and paved surfaces. The area the work is being done is, is to far away from where Guard Coster is , so it would have to be for a larger but closer project. Which makes it more prob to be a larger project be it, a new show building or as I really do think, a new Hotel

Jon Favreau confirmed tonight at the Solo premiere that his Star Wars series will be set 7 years after Return of the Jedi and feature new characters.

I wonder if the new series will finally give us some of that Snoke background ... or will we have to wait for Ep 9? As mentioned in a previous post, there's a pretty big gap for story telling in this time period. I believe most of the current canon stories are just after ROJ, or just preceding Force Awakens. I pretty much stick to all the current canon comics but I'm pretty sure none of the newer books cover the rise of Snoke and the 1st Order's emergence?

Saw Frozen on Broadway a couple of nights ago. It was very good, but not amazing by any means. I can't put my finger on exactly why. Probably didn't help that we got the understudy for Anna.

That’s a real shame! We saw it last weekend and Anna stole the show.

I didn’t find it to be the best Disney show for a number of reasons. The beginning with just the kids was a bit slow...

Thematically it was very inconsistent from the movie (Hans being totally goofy, Elsa contemplating suicide, nude cabaret, Kristoff’s instant helpfulness).

My favorite change was the trolls. I don’t know the reason for the change, but Pabbie and Boulda were awesome.

Some changes to Character Dining at Disneyland starting July 10th

Now PCH Grill gets only Donald, Daisy and Stitch while Mickey moves over to Storytellers Cafe in the Grand Californian as part of Mickey's Tales of Adventure ... and must say, the Indiana Jones-like Mickey looks pretty neat

Would be a shame if they completely changed the storyteller's breakfast. I like different characters, not just the same Fab 5 + or - chip and Dale/Daisy.

They already watered down Goofy's.
