What kills me about all of this is that many are going by the EU, when all of that is speculative when comapred to the movies and the fact that Lucas says that nothing is definite if it is not in the movies.
Some stuff is taken to be part of the Canon, not just what is in the movies. KOTOR for instance is taken as part of the canon. And while right now the stuff after ROTJ is taken as canon, it could easily change if they ever decided to make movies about that time.
