I get Disney can do as it pleases but I’d rather them not use the EU. They didn’t want to use it so they can have a clean slate so stick to it. Just sounds like the show will be a mish mash of rebels and heir to the empire. I’d love to see a competent person adapt it. Not Disney.
Darth Angelus on YouTube is doing a good job with an animated adaptation
Hell, I'm trying to look into other things, Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn's top man other than his Noghri bodyguard) no longer exists either, does he.
Disney forgetting about him would be a good thing IMO. Pellaeon is legitimately one of my favorite EU characters. Just an experienced, competent guy who carries on doing his job as best he can while he's surrounded by space wizards, scenery-chewing supervillains, crazy alien species and more. And he usually does his job pretty darn well.
It won't have Talon Karrde, the Noghri, the Solo Twins' birth, Mara Jade, Jorus C'Boath, ysalimiri, etc etc.

I also like how he ended up fighting with the New Republic against the Vong. It was weird reading about TIE Fighters and X-Wings working together
