It always was very clear to me that the EU, even when approved by Lucas, could be thrown away at any moment Lucas wants to make something "SW canon", like new movies and TV series.
In other words I never took the EU as SW canon. I'm surprised you did Skyjedi ;)
There are some things that would be worthwhile taking as canon, that is, if most of it wasn't a huge clusterf*ck. I like the early chapters of the Tales of the Jedi comic series. Although the Exar Kun saga has some pretty lame moments, the Great Hyperspace War volumes are awesome. And of course, we will always have Jedi Knight II, probably the best Star Wars video game ever made, if we exclude the space combat simulators.
