In terms of the movies, the O-OT is canon. Some elements of the SE are kind of canon on the basis of their long history in the Star Wars tradition, e.g. Biggs and Jabba. Others, emphatically, are not. Oh, and the Holiday Special is canon. Chief Bast lives!

When I do think of the Prequels, I entertain certain ... unorthodox thoughts about them. Interpretations that some consider unnatural. And I have seen SW fanboys get enraged when I share these thoughts, even those that don't contradict filmic canon and are supported by EU "official LFL" canon. Go figure.

I am, of course, conversant with the multiple levels of canon used in the Holocron database and have no problem discussing Star Wars in terms of the aggregate mythology therein; I even like a great deal of the EU and consider part of my personal canon. But that's another thread, I guess.
