Just because they are approved doesn't make them canon. I believe that
all of the novels are approved, also. And Lucasfilm approves Marvel's
STAR WARS comic, but does not consider them to be part of the Star Wars
canon. Bennett et al. may *say* that the DC comics are an "official"
part of the canon, but if so, how does one explain away the fact that
the third movie picks up right where the second left off, and yet in
the comics, there are 8-9 issues worth of stories that take place in
between?
