if I recall correctly from my time in SW fandom many moons ago, yes, the EU was considered a level of canon for a very long time. Top level canon all the time, the movies, then there were tiers below that - the radio dramas, the EU books, and then the cartoons. I think? I don't remember where EU and radio dramas actually were in rank, but they all ranked ahead of cartoons and comic books.

So, you would in fact be incorrect to claim the EU was never any level of canon at any point. But anyone claiming it was at the same level as the movies is also wrong. I would not be the slighest bit surprised if there was now infighting over whether new movies supersede rank or if the EU was unfairly dis-ranked from canon entirely. If I had any investment in the fandom I probably would be mad that someone somewhere decreed canon un-canon.

Lucas was always clear that it wasn't canon. And he owned it until he sold it. he licensed it to others but retained ownership.
