Forum:SH:Canonicity of new children adaptations of the Original Trilogy

Having noticed some glaring continuity errors in A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy, The Empire Strikes Back: So You Want to Be a Jedi?, and Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side!, it seems that at least some parts of these books appear to be non-canon. For example, the adaptation of Return of the Jedi totally alters Ev-9D9's backstory to the point that it seems that the Lucasfilm Story Group didn't even bother to review the books. In addition, some lines of dialogue are altered from what we see on screen. Should these books be treated like we do Star Wars: Story Before The Force Awakens, an adaptation with differences for a different audience, and consider the new details with a grain of salt? -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 01:38, September 23, 2015 (UTC)
