Leaving aside the reimagining that has been a reocurring issue with the franchise (64 is a reimagining of 1 and Zero is the same for 64), many of those contradictions are actually a case of poor localizations and broken phone games between Nintendo in Japan and the people in the West, and then fans over here adding some and creating further confusion, with the most blatant cases being things like the characters' ages and Krystal's backstory. In the latter's case, Rare left some stuff about her planet and family in Adventures's manual, whereas, as far as Nintendo is concerned, she's just an enigmatic blue vixen that came to aid Sauria. As for the characters' ages, you can easily tell them for the main team as long as you take Farewell Beloved Falco into account, as it spells out their ages and it has a very clear timeline (4 years after 64, 4 before Adventures).

The overriding lore of Star Fox has been fairly consistent in Japan and there's many details that didn't leave the country for years because they were not translated from the manuals (particularly 64's), or were pretty much relegated to interviews with the main devs, or were obvious to the Japanese but not to foreigners, which is the case of things like Wolf's rivalry with James and James's enormous loan to acquire the Great Fox (64 manual), Fox's mom being alive (interview with Imamura), Falco's species (he's a pheasant) or Wolf's exact age range (someone directly asked Imamura on Twitter!). And then there's important bits of canon, like Farewell Beloved Falco, that most fans don't seem very familiar with because they only existed in fan translations instead of being bundled with Adventures like it happened in Japan.

You can say that the games could do a better job of integrating those things or that there isn't a lot of lore in general because Nintendo has always cared more about the gameplay, but, as far as the Japanese side of things is concerned, you can't accuse Star Fox of not having lore, or of having particularly inconsistent lore.
