It's canon, but that doesn't mean it automatically feels "Star Wars". Much of Karen Traviss's writing and the Yuuzhan Vong don't feel really Star Wars to me, though the latter of which is kind of a bad example because they're from another galaxy. A few Force powers from LOTF seem out of place to me as well. IMO, the Journal of the Whill info doesn't even seem like it's intended to be in the same galaxy as the films, but rather a more fantasy LOTR-ish world.
