Anyone else seriously and wholeheartedly not consider SW Ep1 - Ep3 canon

[DominionSeraph]

It's GL story, so it's canon.

It's a rough draft, so it's not.

It came from Lucas, it can't be more canon than that. Just because you're a fan it doesn't mean you have a say in what's canon and what's not.

Edit: I wasn't a huge fan of 1-3 either, and I have jokingly said many times to my friends (and even tried to convince my son of the fact, without any success) that there are only three Star Wars movies. But seriously and wholeheartedly? It's GL story, so it's canon.

I realize that. I guess the argument is: can there be a fundamentalist alternative definition of what is canon and use 1982 as the cutoff pretending whatever came after never existed?

I think it's valid.
