We're getting slightly off track now, but Lucas never considered the EU to be canon, he says as much in many interviews. He liked parts of it and adapted certain things into the movies, but there were massive parts of it that were made redundant with the prequel movies and Clone Wars series.

The EU still exists in the same space it always did, there just isn't a preconceived notion that "EVERYTHING IS CANON" anymore, which is good. The future movie universe would have sucked really hard if they attempted to work in crap like the Solo kids, Chewbacca's death or Luuke, not to mention any of the really stupid stuff.

I'd still like to see some actual evidence of Disney's involvement in this matter. Hasbro stopping other companies releasing competing toys makes sense, especially with how high profile the recent Figuarts announcements were, but Disney cracking down on imports doesn't make much sense. They're still being made for Japan and only being sold there, if some people are importing them from Japanese retailers, it's still money lining their pockets.
