Query: How important is the SW EU? The old Legends EU as well as the Disney EU?
Speculation: I would venture to say it is important and in 5 years it will become very important! After the end of this trilogy, any future episodes or trilogies simply won't be able to use the OT heavy rehash formula. It may prove to continue for the rest of this trilogy and be successful. But it will wear thin going forward after that and drown the franchise in stale predictability, turning into a rerun parody of itself. They will be forced to keep all of the EU close to consult it and formulate what would be the successful concepts that can be transferred to the storytelling on the big screen.
Those are my thoughts anyway. What are yours?

Well, some elements from the EU are already canon. i.e. The Outrider (Dash Rendar's ship in Shadows of the Empire) is canon and can be seen in Episode 4 flying above Mos Eisely. Thrawn is canon having appeared in a official novel and Star Wars Rebels. Even Lumpy from the Star Wars Holiday Special is canon now - being referenced in a novel.
Disney will probably continue to keep up this behavior as they proceed with the franchise.
