Your broader confusion rests on two misunderstandings, as I see it:
1. That modifying and changing the Lucas canon can only be done via release of direct revisions to his material, a la the Extra-Special Edition joke from earlier. This is not true. Stories can be altered by revising via a prequel, for instance.
2. That somehow rejecting the Disney Canon means the Disney statements on canon must also be rejected. Again, this is untrue. Their statements are being followed but are in self-contradictory conflict.
This is little different than if I rejected the GCSN stuff yet acknowledged that Licensing had made it. I don't have to act like Licensing couldn't make internal policy. That's absurd.
