That's fair enough.

I find it really weird that George Lucas created Shadows of the Empire, designed it as a part of a multimedia storytelling... thing, where the full story would unfold over the book, comic and game. It was considered- at the time- to be as canon as any of the movies. Even more canon than the Expanded Universe books.

And yet here we are. It's no longer canon. Oh well.

*cough*Holiday Special*cough*

I'm wondering if the NPR Star Wars radio adaptation is canon. It was also done in cooperation with Lucasfilm, had Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels as voice actors, and is the source for the Battle of Toprawa, capture of the Death Star plans, the name Tantive IV, and a number of other minor contributions to Star Wars lore.

They specifically stated that the movies, TCW, and Rebels were the only thing canon at the time of the cutoff.

The Tantive IV name has been used in other media now so that's not an issue.

The Battle of Toprawa is no longer canon, though the death star plans being stolen certainly still is. Annoyingly enough, it's only real canon discussion is in a mobile tower defense game. Ick. Rogue One will be clearing up that part of the canon, though.
