-- TCB's Canon
Prequels and the OOT

-- Interesting (but not canon where not confirmed directly explicitly by the films, I don't care what anybody says)
Cloak of Deception
ROTS novelization
Han Solo Adventures (whatsisname Daly)
Han Solo trilogy (Ann Crispin)
Shadows of the Empire (without question the most Star Wars of all the novels)
Heir to the Empire

-- Crapola (whether I've actually read it or not)
Everything else (yes, including the rest of the Thrawn trilogy)
-----------------------------------
Why is this even an issue?  Because LFL and some of the subsidiaries thereof insist that we fans regard these (largely inferior) offerings as being the prior/ongoing adventures of the movie characters.

And, sorry, I cannot convince myself that Luke would ever recommission the Jedi Council under any form of government considering how demonstrably screwed up the entire concept is, as per the prequels in general and ROTS in particular.  This is but the tip of the iceberg.
