I'm pretty darn unhappy about it myself. I don't see any way that these movies can be good, and any way they go about it they're going to destroy canon. Either through the ignoring of it, which means the EU is immediately written off, or by forcing the EU characters and story into some movie acceptable format which ruins them.
And that's not even getting into the way that Disney/Star Wars are diluting their product. These movies were epic. They stood alone for 30 years before the prequel trilogy was made. Now, it's been just seven years since the last prequel aired and they want to put out a new trilogy? That's how Star Trek ruined their franchise with overexposure. They're making Star Wars into something that's no longer a once in a lifetime event and I resent that.
