If you mean canon, then the books and clone wars series were both canon. The original Clone Wars cartoon is not. However their status now is unknown. Who knows what Disney's policy towards them will be.
Picky, picky.

On topic never a great fan of the Vong oh look another race of organic tech aliens with a warrior culture never seen that before. Personally be more interested to see some more development of the gree or rakata.

I thought the only things that are official canon are the movies and the 'new' clone wars.

The Yuuzhan Vong better not be canon. But I don't think they are. Material that includes them generally reads like fan fiction.

Most people say that the books ARE cannon. The prequels sucked and the game has failed. All I'm saying is use something that some fans are behind

That would make it an all out brawl for the warriors and make it harder for the sorcerers since the force powers wouldnt affect them. That would be an awesome buff to get from vong armor or get and ampistaff pet/weapon. Even specialized gear for the Space missions to take on a Coralskipper
you heard wrong. Post ROJT is all non canon. George Lucas said this many times before. Plus the new movie is going to be original so they will be wiping the slate clean.
The Clone wars Cartoon IS canon.

It just wouldn't fit. If the Vong did appear at this time, I'd bet strict records would be kept - and the heroes of the NJO wouldn't known about them beforehand.

Read my first post they started showing up in the time of canderous. And I don't want these new movies. The prequels weren't even good. Also the books are better than anything they will come up with. And if the books and cartoons aren't cannon then we don't need to worry we can put the vong in the game. We already put the rhakghouls in.

i never really knew much about the Vong or it's history but I went to wookieepedia and read their entire history. It looks like Bioware took most of their armor set inspirations from the Vong.

If you look at the pictures throughout the wookieepedia history most of them seem very very similar to the pve/pvp endgame sets for sith warriors and sith inquisitors.

LFL says the books are C-canon, like the rest of the EU. C-canon can be overridden by films or the TV series. I say the C in C-canon stands for Crap, and the books are just fan fiction that they make you pay to read. "Most people" have not read the 150 or so books that are out, and of those who have, opinions are decidedly divided.

So who is this "most people" you refer to? And where's your evidence that the game has failed? I log on to full fleets and a game I enjoy, and so do hundreds of thousands of others. SWTOR hasn't lived up to the hype, sure. It's not a WOW killer. But it's stabilised as the second biggest MMO out there. We should all fail so miserably...
