J.J. Abrams wants to take 'Star Wars: Episode VII' back to the series' grittier roots:
"In a recent interview with the UK’s The Times Magazine, director J.J. Abrams hints that Star Wars: Episode VII may return the saga to its gritty, "space western" roots. Abrams, known for Lost and his grandiose, lens-flare heavy take on the Star Trek franchise, says that he is set on returning the sense of mystery that so pervaded the original trilogy — something that critics and fans alike have complained was lost in the prequel. To pull that off, audiences can expect to see a dirtier aesthetic more akin to the frontiers of the Old West than the gleaming futurescapes of the prequels."

Boba Fett Movie Shows How Disney Turns Characters Into Profits:
"A year after Disney's $4 billion Lucasfilm megapurchase, news continues to trickle in on its plans for its newly acquired properties. The new Star Wars trilogy is already under way, and two other "mystery" films are slated in between the trilogy films's releases. Now Metalocalypse director John Schnepp is adding to the suspense by "confirming" that one of these is a Boba Fett solo film."

'Star Wars: Episode VII' will take place 30 years after 'Return of the Jedi':
"A new Star Wars film is getting closer by the day, and Lucasfilm and Disney have just announced some new information on the status of the production. Episode VII — co-written and directed by J.J. Abrams — is set to begin shooting this May at Pinewood Studios in London. For the first time, however, the team is giving an indication of what fans can expect to see when the film hits theaters in 2015. According to today's release, it will take place 30 years after Return of the Jedi, which capped off the original Star Wars trilogy, and "will star a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces.""

New ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy Has No Ties to Expanded Universe, Lucasfilm
Confirms: "Our long, global crisis is finally over: The new “Star Wars” trilogy will not have any ties to the Expanded Universe post-”Return of the Jedi.” “In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe,” Lucasfilm announced in a press release on StarWars.com Friday."

From my point of view, that just means they won't be telling one of the dozens of existing stories. Given how the writers have been up to now, they'll still use stuff, and doubt they will scrap eveything. Typically one would go for a streamlining approach and either avoid some things, or use it as background at best while telling a new story. A story presently said to be 34 years after the Battle of Yavin. From http://starwars.com

In some ways, this blows. I mourn for the awesome parts of the EU. Of course, as the post a few above mine says, I'm sure they'll take parts of the EU... like the resurrection of Boba Fett, because Disney and LFL won't pass up an opportunity for money-grubbing like that. Heck, they've tried to milk him for all he's worth with TCW. Fans and LFL, ruining what was a great idea by turning him from a unique and intriguing character into a one-of-millions cookie-cut-out that was just decorated differently.

Star Wars: Rebels reminds me of the old traditional six player roleplaying group from the old West End Games "Star Wars Roleplaying Game" back in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It also seems likely it is given some of the writers involved.
