Alright to put this whole thing to rest... If you lurk on
alt.startrek.vs.starwars long enough you will be forced to learn this.
Lucasfilm's offical order of canon (in the event of a contradiction the
highest source takes priority) is as follows: Movies, Novels of the Movies,
Epanded Universe Novels, and Comics. Everything else is NOT canon. Things
that are NOT canon include the SW Christmas Special, The Droids Cartoon, The
Ewoks Cartoon, etc.
