Are the radio dramas for the OT cannon?

It's ALL make-believe. No company gets to decide what's real fake vs fake fake. They claim they can only because some people turn their power over to them.

Watch what you want to watch. I can promise you it's every bit as "real" as whatever Lucas thought he could decide for other people.

I wish more people I talked to thought about these things felt this way. Well said, Anchorhead - as always.

Only EU I came to know was 2003 clone wars, SPlinter, Heir, KOTOR and Shadows of Empire. Of these, KOTOR and clone wars were great, Heir was good and Shadows sucked. Shadows should have been my first clue how bad it was going to get. Splinter---well....oh boy, lets just say in order to make this 'comfortably canon'...you need to make the luke leia storylines in ESB and ROTJ not canon BWAAAHAHAHAAAA.

for me - my own personal canon is the OOT...and Robot Chicken Star Wars!! BWAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAA

But to me what underscores Anchorhead's point are that 1)of course Lucas didnt have set stories for the movies 2)The so-called 'official story group', that apparently provides a good house-keeping seal for all future works, have gone on record: although they made EU 'non-canon' they will not rule out using characters and concepts that originated from the EU if they they it makes for a good story.

now i'll wait for someone to edit my post to read "they will not rule out using characters and concepts that originated from the EU if they they it makes for a good toy to sell."
