User blog comment:KaharZamet/Disney Announces 4 New Novels to Kick Off the "New EU"/@comment-4689032-20140427155537

I did some digging, and found that someone from Lucasfilm was answering questions on Twitter. One of the questions was if Heir to the Jedi was still part of the Empire and Rebellion series. The answer was it is no longer part of that series which means the Empire and Rebellion is still considered a part of the old EU or Star Wars: Legends. Heir to the Jedi is part of their new official canon. Here is a list of questions and answers from Twitter I found on Wookieepedia. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User:Toprawa_and_Ralltiir/Canon
