Hasbro must have really put the squeeze on Lucasfilm after the Disney Trilogy when they re-negotiated their contract. The term "Expanded Universe" is basically a "deadname" for what Disney now calls Legends Timeline, and yet Hasbro can use it on official products now. Not to mention that they've been made action figures of various EU exclusive characters including Mara Jade. I wonder if Shadows of the Empire figures are in the pipeline?
(Honestly, Disney should just sell the Star Wars IP to Hasbro, it couldn't possibly be worse than the last few years under Disney.)
