They aren't. I've read that stuff. I liked it back then. Its not canon.

The only stuff that is canon is the stuff directly in the films. Sure, Lucas may have thrown nods to fans from the EU in his movies, but it will NOT AFFECT THE STORY OF THESE FILMS. At all.

99.999999999999999% of the world has not read a Star Wars novel and never will. However most of the world has seen Star Wars movies.

These will be original stories that only use the OT and PT as canon. That is an absolute fact.

Michael Arndt and Kasden and Abrams didn't all of a sudden forget how to adapt screenplays (well, maybe Abrams did).

I'm sorry but these are facts.
