I see no reason why we can't use the same timeline, at least for now. It's pretty unlikely we'll have to worry about changing it until at least the 2020s, when Episode IX has been released and we are in need of new Star Wars content that takes place afterwards…

Those are a couple of the conflicts I had in mind, as well. We won't be utilizing characters from the non-canon Legacy era. The characters we've already been using (such as Nexus Wan) are the heroes/villains/bystanders of the "canon" version. The only exception to this is Darth Krayt and Darth Talon, as we actually have concept art for them to illustrate the articles for their "canon" counterparts here. That's not to say we couldn't use Cade Skywalker or those types of characters at some point in the future (in a spin-off TV show similar to The Clone Wars or something), though.

Again, the basic premises introduced in Legacy can be adapted, whether it's for a ship, a droid model, a creature, or a weapon. However, everything about them (their origins, role in galactic history, et cetera) will be replaced with original material.
