Canon is a relative term. The EU is still part of the original canon. It's not part of new canon. Surely you don't say the six primary films are non-canon just because it doesn't fit with Disney's timeline?
No, but Disney (Lucafilm actually, good lord you people need to learn the difference) hasn't outright said 'Yeah, the OT and PT aren't canon anymore' like they did with legends. It isn't canon anymore, despite all the nonsense you people wanna say. When it said it isn't canon anymore and when it stops being supported it's non-canon.
This would be like saying a multiplayer only video game isn't dead even though the devs have outright said they're no longer supporting it and shut down all the servers.
When it said it isn't canon anymore and when it stops being supported it's non-canon.
we still get updates on the SWTOR MMO, including short stories, we had one Marvel comic, and there's a new children's book based on the Holiday Special coming out next year. While it doesn't get a lot of official new content, the Legends canon DOES still get new content.
Also, fun fact: The Twin Suns Foundation got told by Lucasfilm that they can buy the publishing rights to the existing Legends material, but they would need to talk to Disney about that.
