This is probably due to their new work on the next trilogy, and trying to tie everything together. The most important part from the Wikipedia article on the EU to me is:

"Following the acquisition of the Star Wars license by Disney, it was announced that all EU content taking place after Return of the Jedi would henceforth be considered an alternate universe, called The Legends of Star Wars. Content and characters from the Legends may reappear in the new canon."

they kind a pulled a new 52. Thats not too bad
