The problem with Lucasfilm Ltd. is, that they have no real canon policy. If they would have, they would more attend to continuity than making money. A canon have to be continuous and consistent and should keep the tenet and vibes of the original. But fact is, that some novels of the EU are describing a universum, which is for someone, who has only seen the movies, not recognisable. For them, it is another world, in which the actors have the same names as in Star Wars.
Also it is a fact, that some novels of the EU are not only contradicted by other EU novels, but even by the movies.
That's the consequence of no real canon policy. If Lucasfilm Ltd. would have one, some Star Wars Fans wouldn't have so much problems with some EU authors lately.
But to be able to argue about Star Wars reasonable, you have to create a reasonable canon at first.
If you want to use the absurd canon from Lucasfilm Ltd., which doesn't even deserve the name "canon", you can do so. But please respect, that not all people think like you and some of them are creating a reasonable canon, whith which one can argue about Star Wars at all.
