And to say a team of writers that are professional moviemakers can't come up with a better story than the EU in the 2+ years they've had to develop this based on Lucas' long in gestation notes is just the height of retardation.
This is why I'm still not sure if Liberty is trolling or not.
If I get hired to write the next Star Wars, why the frick would I want to use any of someone else's material so that they can get even a fraction of the credit if the movie is a hit?
Aside from that, if I was a writer, I would assume I would love creating and writing as much of my own material as possible. Why would I use the EU?
ETA:
If I WERE a writer... Obviously I am not one.

Not trolling but like I said Lucas himself included Shadows as canon see the Outrider and Black Sun being cameo'd in the newest additions of the OT. So even by loosest definition that part of the EU is canon. I agree not all of the EU is canon but just like Disney can't erase Marvel's past (they can do their own versions) they can't erase Star Wars and in particular Shadows and NJO standout because they were approved by Lucasfilm and George Lucas (in fact with both Lucas wrote the treatments).
Disney probably won't use the Vong its just they should. If they aren't going to stick to the established canon they are better off completely rebooting the series I would actually be in favor of that. Or exploring the distant past/future of the galaxy.

He's not alone. People who love the EU just can't grasp it mentally that no one really considers that stuff canon and that an artist is not going to really let shite some fat lard wrote 20 years ago stand in the way of the story they want to tell.
