Nothing can really stand against him.

[MENTION=8519]Eliseo[/MENTION]; I think at this point we'll be getting a new canon level. Something below G similar to what they did for TCW. It really depends on how badly they chose to retcon EU stories.
[MENTION=2088]Flonne[/MENTION]; Han Solo Trilogy is a bit too juvenile for VII-IX not to mention completely the wrong timeline. I could see them spinning it into a cartoon though
The whole Jedi Academy thing would make a terrible movie based on existing writing. The EU in general has made Luke OP to the point of silliness. No one would ever by into that much power and he would be completely unrelatable. Not to mention the only interesting characters would be Corran Horn and Kyp Durron. All the others (excepting Kyle Katarn shenanigans) are completely forgettable.
I could be OK with them retconning some of it as long as they keep some of the good parts. The Sun Crusher would make a great plot line for instance. The Jedi Academy founding seems a natural progression for the story and nicely dodges the holiness that is the Thrawn Trilogy. Any rewrites there would have the fans wanting blood, myself included.
My bet would be a mix of the forming of the Jedy Academy and the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion is what Disney would use. Evil Aliens trying to conquer a just recovered galaxy? It seems the direction they will go to. Elements of the Thrawn trilogy can be put together, but I don't think they would make Episodes VII-IX around only this.
It's highly possible that they would put a Marvel-style. Use existing universe elements into a unique movie storyline.
