In terms of our sense of continuity, we always look first at the original trilogy.  After that, we pretty much consider any secondary novel or movie source with a critical eye, and when things contradict, we go with what fits in the original trilogy.

 For example, in the prequels, Anakin's naboo fighter has glowing shields, but nothing in the OT (original trilogy) does, so while in the Star Wars universe this may be canon, we're not considering it as such.

So what comes first, the prequels or original-trilogy era novels?

(sorry for all these questions)

It's on a case by case basis.

[Topgun]

yeah, if we make a naboo star fighter, we can always add a shield effect for it.
I wouldn't do that to an x-wing though.

The odd thing is that even then the shield on the Naboo fighter only shows up for one small scene.

The N-1 fighters shields are only shown during their initialization when R2 turns the power back on.

I think the shields don't glow, but its shown for the benefit of the viewers who wouldn't know otherwise the shields are on.
