Back in 2014, Star Wars canon had been "soft-rebooted", jettisoning all of the pre-2014 Star Wars works to the "Legends" continuity, except for the six main Star Wars films (the Original and Prequel Trilogy), the animated shows (Clone Wars 2008), etc.
Do you think that Lucasfilm could restore some of the pre-2014 works that tied in so closely with the main films (e.g., Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars) in the future? I believe that this is going to be a work in progress.

They probably won't. They are likely to just continue down the path they are on. They use the "Legends" stuff as inspiration sometimes, but in a way that fits the new canon.
It doesn't matter though. If there are certain books and comics or whatever that you like, you can still like them. And if they don't contradict the current stuff they can still fit into your own head canon.

Good old headcanon. In mine, I am a disgraced former Jedi who got severely out of shape and now spends all his time at various cantinas drinking and trolling for various catgirl species to bang.

To be fair I think they made the right choice dismissing it. The EU really needed more quality control because some of it was complete crap.

If you want to know why they killed the old EU, read The Crystal Star or any of the Vong stuff which was just printed diarrhea.

Pretty much and some of the stuff like The Old Republic Era is so far removed from literally everything else it didn't matter if it was official canon or not. speaking of I think the the original Clone Wars series was already considered non-canon due to the 2008 series. that too

I'm just glad Chewbacca isn't dead from standing on a dying moon, or whatever the f*** happened to him.

They can't tell me what it "acceptable" and what isn't. Tartakovsky's Clone Wars is like an animated account of lots that happened pre-New Hope. It's entirely more canonical to me than the stupid prequels. I accept the stuff I get from that Clone Wars series, and the prequels sure aren't acceptable, therefore discarded by me.

How much did Genndy's "Clone Wars" tie in with the movies prior to Clone Wars 2008, and was some of the stuff retconned prior to the Legends reboot?

I mean they kinda can you what is acepptable Cannon since it's there franchise. Everything g else can be your own cannon but still

The original versions of the classic trilogy.
That's canon to me.
Everything else is just an alternate universe.

I still accept that The Force Unleashed is canon as nothing in it prevents anything in Rogue One from happening. Plus, Starkiller Base in TFA.
