He did talk about the EU before 2014, though.

Both of these articles mention statements he made prior to 2014 saying that while he loved that the EU expanded on his work, they were not canon.

Both of these articles mention statements he made prior to 2014 saying that while he loved that the EU expanded on his work, they were not canon.

I don't see that? I might be missing something, please mention it if I am.

The first one (Deseret News) mentions that Lucas had always felt free to overwrite things from the EU. Which was true, and everyone knew it, in part because (as the article points out) the prequel trilogies did overwrite stuff from the EU. But that doesn't mean that the rest of the things in the EU were un-canon'd as well. And that's definitely not the attitude that fandom took at the time.

The second one (comicbook.com) mentions Dave Filoni saying, in 2017 after the EU had been de-canonized, that this is how he and Lucas had always felt about it. But Filoni saying in 2017 that he and Lucas hadn't considered it canon before 2014 is not the same as Lucas or anyone else saying before 2014 that it wasn't canon.

I can't figure out what you mean by "not canon" if you don't mean "the script writers feel free to ignore or contradict it" ...
