It's self-evident that the eu isn't the real Star Wars and thus shouldn't be considered canon. Sure, some guys at Lucasfilm will tell you certain EU things are canon, but that's just for internal consistency of EU products and for selling stuff.

They wont tell you anything. You need to log onto their forums and ask.

The liscening department at Lucasfilm only has authority if fans give it to them, and the fact we're having this discussion about 'canon' shows we take these glorified bloggers far too seriously.

Let creators create (Lucas, Zahn, Stover, Tarkovsky) and let liscencing departments liscence.
