Depends. Given that so far it seems like the older actors will be back, they have to set the story to fit their ages. The current EU has that covered for the most part. It has been 35 years since Star Wars came out. The EU presently has the stort for Luke, Han, and Leia up to I think 45 years after Yavin.

It is unlikely they will just convert a novel into the new trilogy as they would need to pay the author again or something. Plus directors and their new writter might want more space...but they still have one author they will consult on things....Lucas himself.

Keeping what has happened before there, but telling a new story would work. They don't really need to reference thinks directly. Just have the universe as is. The audiance will figure out what is important or not in the theater.

After the third trilogy, then Lucasfilm can go about making new films every two years or so. At that point they can either continue on from the Third Trilogy, or go back and make films based on novels (it is allowed to make films from novels). If they didn't go with the Old Republic era stuff they will need to recast the principle roles at that point (in the 2020s).
