I was browsing the Star Wars Wikia, Wookiepedia, and found an article about a series of canceled EU novels that would have contained the first humans arriving in the SW galaxy from Earth. What do you think about this?
It’s too much. Too meta, too fan fiction-y, too explain-y.
Not everything needs an answer. Is it really Star Wars when you get that far away from the core of what we already know? I don’t think so.

I think it’s pretty cool to imagine how the humans from Earth came from or became the humans in Star Wars, but again, it’s unnecessary. The only Earth/Star Wars galaxy crossover that I accept as canon is E.T. as a Jedi.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Too reverse Battlestar Galactica, but the idea of tying THX 1138 into everything is kind of cool.
Where were you in '77?
I kinda accepted the story as quasi-canonical for awhile there – at least the idea of the humans of the GFFA being the descendants of fugitives from the Earth of THX 1138– but I’ve since lost interest in the idea of the humans of the SW Galaxy being an offshoot of Terrans.
Nowadays, I prefer to run with a somewhat different idea: that Coruscant was a duplicate Earth – ala Miri’s world from Star Trek – a long, long time before it became a city planet.
I just don’t see why it’s a question to be answered, let alone considered.

Not even Chad Vader?
I’ve always seen it as an alternate universe and see no need to tie it to Earth. When I seriously consider it, I just assume that what is portrayed as Human’s speaking English are some vaguely humanoid alien speaking in their native tongue. That is usually too much to worry about and I prefer the parallel human development idea.
