I can't say that I have only one canon.  It really depends on my mood.  Let me just list how I look at it, depending on what I'm feeling at the time.

-The OT

OR

-The PT (movies and novels together)

-The OT (sometimes including the novels, but not usually)

OR

-The PT (movies and novels together)

-Clone Wars CGI and traditional animated, favoring CGI.

-The OT

OR

-The OT

-The Thrawn trilogy

-And sometimes I'll include the Jedi Academy Trilogy

-And sometimes I'll even let in Shadows of the Empire

OR

-ANH

-Splinter of the Mind's Eye

OR

-The OT

-OT novelizations

-OT radio dramas

-OT deleted scenes

-The Star Wars Holiday Special.........Juuuuuuuust kidding!

I used to include everything that came out, even if I was not a fan of specific ideas, but as time went on, more and more crap became associated with the EU and I started disregarding most of it.  As I've mentioned elsewhere, I cannot stand Dark Empire and don't like how big an influence it's had on the rest of the EU.  The only thing I like that came from it was the Eclipse, but in the context of the rest of the timeline, I don't even believe such a thing could have been built.  Since I stopped paying attention to most EU, I've never bothered to pick up a novel set during the PT timeframe (other than the PT novels themselves, of course).
