Offtopic tangent engage!
3 things, since I've recently been getting into debates about similar things a lot lately.
1) My understanding is Mr Lucas doesn't consider anything outside of the 6 films canon (well maybe the christmas special too). I only mention this to point out that the lines between "canon" and "fanon" can be blurry. Is an officially published Star Wars book or video game more "canon" than a fanfiction when neither had much (if any) input from the original creator? Different people might have different opinions on that.
2) IMO, it really doesn't matter. It's all make-believe anyway. What's important is the relationship between the viewer/reader/player and the work. I think a fan can accept or deny any aspect of canon or fanon they want. The world they see in their head is what's giving them an emotional response, after all; even when watching the same screen, people can see different things. That's fine and even great.
