And Disney proceeded to nuke said expanded universe canon upon acquiring Lucasfilm


What's your point? It still exists. It's only "not canon" if you view it through the angle of the sequel trilogy being canon. People are still free to enjoy the EU within the context of what came before the sequel trilogy, and it still tells the same story it did on release.

That's the neat thing about art, I can choose not to think the post-Disney acquisition cash-cow milking is canon, especially when none of the original storytellers are involved, and it is thus not their vision.

Call it what it is: they retconned to milk the cash cow they bought dry.
