User blog comment:KaharZamet/Disney Announces 4 New Novels to Kick Off the "New EU"/@comment-4689032-20140427155537/@comment-4935956-20140428193058

The fans are the ones who decide whether or not the "Old EU" or "New EU" are canon or not. I, for one, consider the "Old EU" and "New EU" to be the same EU that has always existed, and that the "New EU" is just new books added on to the existing EU. I consider all of the EU canon except for books, comics, games, etc. in the EU that contradict the movies and/or shows.
