They are, but it's all quasi canon unless it's the movies. While arguably ANH novel is as canon as EU can get (Because Georgey wrote it himself... man, you can tell, too) the rest, whether it's comics, novels, books, games, even the Clone Wars cartoon is considered quasi canon. That is, it's part of the continuity unless the movies are contradicted. For example, a book can't come out between ESB and ROTJ where Luke dies and Obi-Wan comes back to life, buys a house, and kicks Vader's ass.
