Just because one person wrote the main universe doesn't mean they particularly agree with everything that was written for that universe by other people. I'm not saying it's not a legitimate way of doing it, but I am questioning whether it is fully 'approved' by Lucas, or whether he just let it go because it made for a good story. I'm pretty sure he had to approve the stuff first. If someone wanted to write "Luke killed Leia in a drunken rage because funzies" he would've never let that be published. If someone wanted to write an intricate plot where Luke was abducted, replaced by a clone who turned everyone against the real Luke, followed by the real Luke having to clear his name, he could've said "sure, do it.".
