Well, first and foremost, I have absolutely no idea what "OP and O&SOTI" is, so I can't give any comment upon that whatsoever. However, I can say that it is just as much an assumption that the books are canon as is the assumption that the books aren't canon, and just because a certain storyline might fit into the original canon still doesn't make it part of the canon, and unless it's a direct animated short or sequel we're speaking of, all products based upon the franchise should be considered alternate continuities over anything else. As for the lower part of your reply, I can't really give a straight answer, but all I know is that it's a common label on products promoting a certain film. I don't really know it's purpose and I've been wondering about its reason for many years now as I've seen it on more and more products.
