We've all seen the commercial where the Darth Vader tries to get the M&Ms to join the dark side, the red refuses but the yellow accepts the dark lord's offer thereby setting up a conflict that surely will be resolved in a thrilling series of EU fanfics.
The question arises. Is this canon? The answer has to be yes!!! It has the official blessing of Lucas's corporation or the commercial never would have aired. (Although I'm at a loss as to why a candy company would want to link themselves to a child murderer but that's neither here nor there.)
Yet I go to the official Star wars sites and there is no mention of how the M&Ms fit into the star wars universe. What the fuck? What's wrong with these sitekeepers? They call themselves fans? There are so many unanswered questions raised by the commercial and neither Lucas nor the fansites are doing anything to answer them!!!!!
Are the M&Ms clones too? Does Yoda have good relations with the candies as well as the wookies? Do the ETs mistake them for their favorite candies? Are there candy jedis?
I want to know it all!!!

Yeah. Oficially the commercial is canon...
Unfortunantly, the OT is no longer canon.

Wait, does that mean that the original canon is no longer canon? In which case, can I still believe that Luke and Leia hooked up? I feel this is the only problem with the original OT, except the fucken ewoks!!!!! Oh, and the fact that the only black guy is a bastard - rascism is not nice GL

So I looked it up on google, and found this...Surely, you jest... What a world....

I don't think a commercial crossing Star Wars with M&M candy or any other food or collector memorabilia franchise really counts as "canon".
Like it or not, depending on format, "canon" is either what you see in the film or read in the book.
Now again that depends on whether you're starting with a book series that spawns a film franchise, in which case you would get canon VS fanon, or if you're dealing with something started off primarily as a film.
And then you get GI Joe, which started as a toyline which later got a comic book as well as a cartoon series, and while the cartoon and comics feature many of the same characters, the two feature differing continuities.
