Now that we've formalized our new canon policy, as promised we have our first update. Del Rey made this Tweet earlier this past week regarding the canon status of film novelizations: "To clarify, movie novelizations are canon where they align with what is seen on screen in the 6 films and the Clone Wars animated movie." I interpret that to mean that only the novel scenes that correspond exactly to the scenes in the films are canon. For example, the Revenge of the Sith novel includes many extra scenes not in the film itself; therefore, those scenes would not be considered canon. In other words, to quote the first response to that Tweet, "So basically... they aren't. The movies are." I know some people here on Wookieepedia are already disagreeing with this interpretation, so I'm just stating

Interpret or misinterpret Del Rey's proclamation as you will.
