               What is Star Wars Canon?

In 2000, Lucas Licensing appointed "Leland Chee" to create a continuity tracking database referred to as the "Holocron". As with every other aspect having to do with the overall story of Star Wars, the Holocron follows the "Canon Policy" that has been in effect for years.

Actually everything is "CANNON" now, with a convuluted level system.
G-Canon is Lucas-world and everything else is the letters A-F and H-Z level Cannon.

The EU (Expanded Universe) is what Lucas calls the "Licensed" world. Fans of the books and novels tend to get pissed when Luca retcons what has already been established by the licensed novels written by others. 

Lucas himself has his own canon levels: 

EXPANDED UNIVERSE & CANON

THE FATHER - LUCAS WORLD

Lucas: “I am the father of our Star Wars movie world - the filmed entertainment, the features and now the animated film and television series and I’m going to do a live-action television series." "Those are all things I am very involved in: I set them up and I train the people and I go through them all. I’m the father; that’s my work."

THE SON - EXPANDED UNIVERSE

Lucas: "Then we have the licensing group, which does the games, toys and books, and all that other stuff. I call that the son - and the son does pretty much what he wants.” “Once in a while, they ask a question like ‘Can we kill off Yoda?’, things like that, but it’s very loose."

THE HOLY GHOST - THE FANS

Lucas: “Then we have the third group, the holy ghost, which is the Bloggers and Fans. They have created their own world. I worry about the father’s world. The son and holy ghost can go their own way.”
