Hi.

Only things (books, comics, etc) made after the Disney buy out are canonical.

There's a reason I specified books and comics. If you want a more comprehensive list:

Films: Episodes 1-7, Rogue One
TV Shows: Clone Wars (including its film) and Rebels
Books & Comics: Anything produced after the Disney buyout. Does include kids/young readers books
Video Games: none. (Video games are vetted to provided an 'authentic' Star Wars feel, but are not considered canonical)

Hold on now, what's been remastered or rereleased since Disney took Star Wars on, obviously that's the version that's canon.

I can't wait to entertain you.
You also need to be an * next to the novelizations of the new movies, as they can have non-canon content. This is per Pablo and the story group. Anything which contradicts something which is seen in the movies is non-canon, but new material not seen in the movie is canon. It's a bit of a dumb caveat, but it makes some form of sense. The novelizations are based on earlier scripts and edits, so by the time the movie hits theaters dialogue or scenes may have been tweaked so they no longer line up 1 to 1 with how the book has it.

Example:

Movie: Vader chokes the Rebel ship captain.
Novelization: Vader slices the Rebel ship captain with his lightsaber.

Movie is the canon version.

Movie: Vader leaves the dead captain and we cut to the next scene with the heroes.
Novelization: Vader leaves the dead captain and goes to take a dump, we then jump to our heroes.

Vader going to take a dump afterwards is canon.

I think more people would've "gotten it" if Lucas made them more like roughshod Taliban showing up on backwaters and cutting off people's limbs for wearing their pants above the ankle or whatever.

In Attack of the Clones while chasing the assassin Anakin does forcefully re-educate a guy so that he stops engaging in sinful behavior. Which is played off as a joke.

But the Star Wars alt-canon is specifically Blackstar Warrior, TROOPS, and that animated short where Vader's top pilots stylishly trounce the Rebels.
