Something being “official” or not shouldn’t matter. What does is the idea of whether something “happened” in the continuity of a story. These things are important only as far as they impact the story.

I see no problem with not having a canon, and no problem with having one. If you want to add another layer to these stories, fine. If not, who cares?

I don’t really have a personal canon of what I think really “happened” but I do have certain pieces of SW that I like and certain pieces that I don’t. There is a distinction between the two concepts.
