No, they're going to reboot it like DC.
The problem is not that the EU is gone, it's how they nuked it. The video included with the official post pissed many people off. "These stories were great and classics and fans loved the hell out of them. They're no longer canon. Suck on it."
Granted, for the casual fan, this means nothing. But those casual fans have never read and EU and are least likely to start any time soon, regardless of reboot.
It's the hardcore fanbase, the ones who helped make the Celebrations what they are, the biggest consumers of the EU, for whom the EU was targeted towards, who are rightfully pissed off as what many have literally grown up with is now essentially nuked from orbit by Disney.
Like I said, I've been expecting this ever since the announcement of the sequels. The constant backpedaling on the announcement, and Jennifer Heddle's spiral into "OMG I don't know LOL" is not helping matters. The fact that this announcement was brought out without anything being set in stone is not helping matters. The execution was poor, the backpedaling is confusing, and we're left with EU in limbo and a Schrödinger's Canon.
