There is almost no chance this will be based on existed novel or Lucas property. Disney is going to want to start over with their own writers and productions.

The books are only canon to Lucas and Star Wars fanatics.

Lucas has story treatments already written out as seen in the video. And he will be involved probably an Executive Producer.

Thats unfortunate. I read most of the EU novels. There are some quality scifi stories in there that would play well on the big screen.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lucasfilm had already developed an extensive story line on the next trilogy, and Episode 7 was now in early-stage development.

Looks like it will be almost entirely based on Lucas' previous ideas.
