I am in a different realm than a lot of SW fans. For me, I don't really even think in regards to what is "Canon" and what is not "Canon." In all honesty, I don't think there is any need to think this way. Beloved stories from the EU are still beloved stories. Beloved characters are not "erased" nor can they be. They are products of imagination that will always be linked to a fantasy universe. They are "included" in as much as your imagination can let them. None of this is actually real, most of us know that ; ).
Personally, the movies have always been the flagship for me. Everything else, I take or leave, depending on if it resonates with me. Since this is all in the realm of imagination, the expansive Star Wars universe is what you make of it. Didn't get too much into Clone Wars, nor from the looks of it, will I get much into Rebels. Looking forward to the sequels. Beyond that, I anticipate the future of SW to be much like the past: hit and miss.
I certainly can sympathize with people in that they have hopes that what they love about the saga will continue and seen in future incarnations of media, but, ultimately whatever you love about the past in Star Wars can't be taken away or erased. Anyway . . . 2 cents.
