So if they ever make the movies, (which I doubt) it will be these 3 books...
I stopped reading them when they got "invaded" by a new race from outside the galaxy and Chewbacca was killed when... wait for it.... a moon landed on him....
Lucas wanted him killed to “prove” no one was going to live forever and he approved this way of dieing... I have heard this new series of the SW Galaxy getting it's ass kicked are best sellers but I refuse to read them since it got so stupid it lost its fun and stopped being interesting.

Yes friends and family are forever buying me these books. There are literally dozens. All of them are gathering dust in my library. I think I partly read one (Jedi Academy?) a long time ago and gave up because the writing was truly dreadful.
Books 7,8,9 were sanctioned to mislead. Lucas wrote the entire 350 page threatment (very long for a treatment) before shooting star wars. It soon became apparent he would not have the time nor the budget necessary for the entire story. He chose what became episode 4 because it was technically the easiest to shoot. The storyline of 7, 8, and 9 will reflect Lucas' initial treatment not the published novels.
