I get their desire to state that the books aren't official anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't use them as a launching point. Similar to how Marvel is using many comic arcs for their film universe, but not doing exact copies. Take a good story, refine it a little, make it film friendly and go with it. There are like 400 SW books, even if only 5% are worth a **** that's still 20 movies.
