I think we'll have to wait awhile for Paramount to run some movies, debate about future TV shows, and establish a canon for everyone to follow.
Actually, I do believe there were several Star Wars novels written in the late 70s and early 80s that were not novelizations. The most prominent was Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
