Alright you are completely missing the point here. The order of canon is for
resolving arguments (usually related specifically to technological arguments)
within the continuity. Most of the 'crap' you mentioned is contradicted by the
movies and is therefore ignored. (This is the official Lucasfilm policy) The
Droids comic, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, etc. are contradicted by the movies.
Just because some editor uses them as a refrence does not make them legitamate,
in fact is simply makes whatever said editor creates an ignored (or at least
seriously flawed) source as well. Where do you think the 8km Super Star
Destroyer, 120km Death Star 1, and 160km Death Star 2 numbers came from? Well
it certainly wasn't from watching the movies. In fact near as anyone can tell
they just made them up. If you want (in my opinion) the best source for
Derived Star Wars AND Star Trek calculations go to:
http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/index.html
Taken form about 2/3 of the way down:
"About the presentation: The tone of this document may be biased due to the
fact that much of it is supposedly written by an imaginary Imperial officer,
but the facts and scientific principles being brought to bear were analyzed in
a genuine attempt to be as accurate as possible. Do not confuse its
quasi-facetious style with a lackadaisical attitude toward factual accuracy."
