Hmm but without the second there wouldn't be the first.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about the books and

What about the games like X-wing, Tie Dark forces and Shadows etc
on computers? Do they fit into the SW univers and dare I say it...
Canon?
I know xwing is just before the start of ANH and then it ends at the
destruction of the first DS. Tie had its on story and I gather it
starts after the Hoth as you have to destoy transports on the
first mission.
As for the others I don't know.

assistant: "Ewoks", declared Craig Goldsmith from the Vogon ship:
True.
Actually, Lucas planned to have a ground battle between the Empire and
Wookies in ANH, but the scene was cut completely.  But by ROTJ when they
added the battle back in, Chewbacca's character had been developed
differently then GL had originally planned: he was more of a technician
at this point then a savage (he could fix Threepio, fly the Falcon,
etc.)  So GL thought that a village of primitive Wookiees wouldn't
really fit anymore, and changed them to Ewoks.

Vader could have been using the name "Endor" as a short form.  If the

that's actually the name of the planet.

There are countless things about all the books (even Zahn's trilogy,
