The films did in fact come before the books. Obviously, the first three Star Wars Movies were made in the 1970s and 1980s. After they were released, several books began appearing in stores for people to buy. If I am not mistaking I believe that the first book of the Thrawn Trilogy was the first Star Wars novel to be released.
This answer is so wrong. I still own the first Star Wars book that I purchased in 1976 (a year before the Star Wars movie first came out).

∙ 13y agoThe original novel, titled simply Star Wars, was based on the screenplay by George Lucas and ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster. When it was originally released, it said "Soon to be a major motion picture" on the back cover, I believe. So, the book came out first, but it was based on the soon to be released movie, not the other way around.
