Oh, Disney's awful about a lot of things - who knows, maybe the OTW will finally get their legal showdown? But I think they're generally okay as a parent company and leave a lot of control to the subsidiaries; it sounds like they're keeping the structure intact and nobody's going to lose work or whatnot.
It is weird, though. As someone who's largely regarded the EU as a sort of quasi-consistent well-beta'd AU fanfic archive, I was so sure there'd never be any canon after ROTJ, ever, so it was a pretty safe space to tinker around in, and now that's all going to change. And it could be terrible. But it's pretty sure they won't half-ass it, anyway, and George is going to just be idea man again, and all else failing, it'll be something new to criticize, which I like doing anyway.
