By content I am referring to books, comics, or games. Legends shows would be an absolute blessing but there's no way Disney would do that.

I believe the best answer is "no". Legends stories are being reprinted and old games are sometimes updated, but that is more like polishing and repairing old content, often to commemorate anniversaries.
There is definitely non-canon material still coming out, but as far as Legends goes, it's mostly a matter of looking forward to how older concepts are introduced to the new canon, often in little side stories so they're like Easter eggs.
No. Disney has made it clear that they see the classic saga as fit only to strip for parts they can jam haphazardly into the reboot because they can't bother to do any worldbuilding themselves. Dozens of major characters, including four of the central nine, have been left to rot, while those that are ported into the reboot are invariably diminished. If you want canon-compliant material, AO3 is your best bet.
^Central 9? I've never heard of that before. Is it just the 4 from the OT plus their new families? (e. g. Mara, Jacen, Jaina)
@Brianspike42 I don't disagree that the conclusion of Legends wasn't the best idea, but ignoring Legends content is hardly something original to Disney. George Lucas made it very clear many times that, while he had to approve Legends content, he would write his stories irregardless of it and merely pull from what he liked (for example, Aayla Secura). The biggest and arguably most egregious example of this is the 2008 The Clone Wars series, which retconned basically all Legends Clone Wars content that predated it. George's drafts for the sequels (which, by the way, were in fact referenced heavily in the Disney sequels in many ways) would have irreparably destroyed the Legends continuity post-Episode 6 as well. Basically everything NJO-onwards would have been decimated, with a notable example being Darth Talon jumped earlier in time by nearly 100 years.
In both practice and philosophy, Disney is operating no differently than George Lucas did. The major difference is that Legends has ended and anything released under Disney's banner from the reset onwards is considered fully canon irregardless of who made it and what medium it is, unlike Legends which was only canon until George rendered it not so.
I honestly think written content is worthless at this point. If you really want to get a broader audience, you do it visually.
What do you think?
