Lucas acknowledges it and nicks from it anyway ... for example the name of the planet Coruscant was first given in Timothy Zahn's trilogy, and then became a part of the "official" canon in The Phantom Menace
As far as I know they've said they're not going to adapt any of the Expanded Universe material for the screenplay, but that doesn't mean that they should ignore its existence

Yea I always thought that the movies were "official" canon and the novels/tv shows/video games etc were like secondary canon, which, as good and accurate as they me be, would still just be open to interpretation like the Doctor Who novels for example.
I'm sure they'll at least achknowledge the E.U. here and there though, even though E-VII will be a completely original story. It's all still up in the air though as far as us fans are concerned. I've still got high hopes about the new trilogy.
