I just assumed it was some silliness belched out on the "bio" pages of the Lucas Franchise machine. Which to me, has always felt weirdly uncomfortable, a sort of role-playing extension that is so fleshed-out that it borders on disturbing. Particularly for adults.

I was wrong about the back stories, or at least some of the ones I've read so far. These stories are from some very talented writers and some of them would make interesting novels on their own. Once again, this board grows my Star Wars universe.
Yeah, most if not all of the back stories are from comics or books or the cartoons.

I would say a fair amount are also from the West End Role Playing books predomiantly written by Bill Slavicsec.
