You know it's dawned on me that this whole everything is Canon thing...isn't really different at all from what was previous, the only thing that's gotten rid of is a Tier system. Which frankly didn't really need to be a thing anyway imo.
Also I guess what is labeled as N-Canon, but it's not as if that can't be stated anyway. I mean people were generally accepting everything as Canon before, so nothing really has changed, this doesn't even fix anything if that's what Disney was going for as with everything being Canon there's gonna be screw ups here and there, contradictions and so on given the various authors.
^ Big difference is now there is a story group who guide the authors and directors of any new content to stay within canon.
Whereas before Lucas was fully in charge and he never even attempted to stay in continuity with the EU. Nor could anyone tell him to.
Ergo Legends never really was canon. Just elseworld material for us consumers to enjoy while waiting for new canon content, and source material for creators of actual canon to draw from.

Ok and there wasn't a group in charge to make sure which stories got what into Canon before? Because I'm pretty sure there was, hence the tier systems and Lucas barely did much aside from his 6 movies n TCW(when it finally came around anyway.)
Everything else though may as well have been part of the Canon, hence Continuity Canon.
There's gonna be foul ups down the road, heck I'm pretty sure there already has been, so nothing is ever perfect.
I hated the levels of canon concept in Legends. It was just an absurdly over-complicated tiering system at times.
While I can appreciate what Disney has done by making all of their works equal in terms of canonicity, it makes things difficult when we start getting multiple 'spins' on the same scenes.
That said, the films are still, technically, regarded as the pinnacle of canon in Disney, so I'm inclined to take anything that flagrantly contradicts them with a grain of salt... So that's how I'm looking at some of the scenes in this series(fun as they are), unless a Lucasfilm figurehead says otherwise. /shrug

There was but it was pointless because Lucas ignored them. And ultimately he was in charge, not Leland Chee.
So thats the big difference.

Yeah. They should just redo the Mace vs Palpatine and Ben vs Vader in anime form.
This says it all:
Also, Yoda's GoA guide sheet is fun:
