yeah, but in Episode III, Palpatine says there was a sith capable of manipulating Midiclorians to create life, thats why Lucas leaves it tou you, to think what you want to think.

(check out the Shadow's of the Empire game for the N64 if you don't know what i'm talking about) Luke begins wandering toward the Dark Side at the end of Return of the Jedi. You can see it when he cuts of Vader's hand (ironically for the second time now Anakin loses is hand ) but in the Dark Empire comic released by Dark Horse some years ago, he very nearly completely turns while destroying Palpaltine's cloning facility, along with his new clone. This was where it was revealed the Leia was carrying the twins of her and Han. The multiple books after this continue that story (The Crystal Star, Jedi Academy trilogy among others)
theres one simple thing why Lucas doenst consider Expanded Universe part of the timeline cause he didnt write it, he might consider Shadows of the Empire, as he considered the Clone Wars (i dont know if you saw the Cartoon Network espisodes), that happen between Ep II and III, but he doesnt follow everything, also anything post Return of the Jedi, fitting in here Dark Empire, he doesnt consider it. It's not Lucas' story unless it is in the movie novelizations or on screen, Expanded Universe is the authors point of view, they have to follow some guidelines to write about Star Wars of course, but he has no control over what the author does.
