I don't agree that it has anything to do with authors though. I don't think they plan to stop selling everything older. It's just not canon. Making something non canon means I don't have to work around a 1985 definition to go forward.I see this as numerous things; wanting to get TSR products off their site after the recent issues, pulling a Disney where they don't want to pay old authors anything deemed problematic to the new audience, & not getting into any more entanglements similar to the Weiss/Hickman issue. Even though I don't agree w/how Disney did it, I see why they did and WotC is as well.
In the end my 87 Grey Box says, "...Who gives a +^@#?" But he's rude like that.
That being said; I am usually the most Star Wars Legends versed in any SW group I've been in and constantly had to hide my 'hmm' when something didn't follow the lore. My biggist issues were creating a small character backstory with a little easter egg that GMs had to look up for reference.
