re: Star Wars: Episode VII': Release set for December 18, 2015

I know people have been dead set against it being EU but that was over a year ago (and before it was put on hold and brought back) when Abrams made that statement. Just pointing out the more I read about these casting sides the more they appear to be Jaina Solo, Jagged Fel, and Kyp Durron.

Like I've said before they likely will take what they want to from the EU but why come up with certain characters that Lucasfilm already created/commissioned? The movies will be made like the prequel trilogy probably. Their own story that uses EU elements/themes/characters but if it conflicts the movies take precedence.

After all a lot of the mythology of star wars that has been seen in the movies was the creation of the EU writers such as Coruscant or Wes Janson. Lucas could have wiped it all away but he chose not to. If he commissioned the NJO don't you think it would fit with his general view of 7/8/9 since they are working from his treatments?
