See, that is why I liked the Star Trek novels so much. They weren't/aren't canon. At all. It was up to the reader to decide what they wanted to add to their own personal head canons.

did this cause some disparities? Y)es, but no one could argue that it was canon.

Star Wars, you had to, cause, as far as canon c an go with the EU anyway, it technically was until George said "NO." So you got stuck with some shitty novels or canceled novels (still miffed over the Shaak Ti novel getting axed BC).

Personally, I decided that The Courtship of Princess Leia and The Crystal Star were absolutely not canon. Horrible characterizations, and the latter's author seemed to have no conception of how hyperspace actually worked in-universe...and none of the New Jedi Order actually happened imo.

I never read those, mostly because I heard Courtship of Princess Leia was bad. And I just found....the rest of that universe not at all compelling. D: Which sucks cause I LOVE Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando, etc. But....bleh.

The first EU novels I ever read were the Corellia trilogy, and I liked them quite a bit. They included characters established in earlier books, though--Gaeriel from Truce at Bakura, and Mara Jade, introduced in the Thrawn trilogy...but I got by okay not knowing who they were. Actually, I think I might have read Truce at Bakura before Gaeriel showed up in the Corellia trilogy...I don't remember, I was like eight. And speaking of Luke's girlfriends, I can't remember what the books were called but the ones with Callista were pretty awful too.

I'd recommend the X-Wing series, but Luke, Han and Leia only rarely show up in those so they may not be your cup of tea.
