Pablo Hidalgo has comented on the canonicity of the StarWars.com episode guides; https://mobile.twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/712051500684410880

How should we interpret this? - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:04, August 8, 2016 (UTC)

• That the episode guides themselves are not "canon." Only stories are "canon," in strict Lucasfilm definitions of the word. Everything else is a summary of canon information or a place to talk about canon information. But "canon" itself refers to story content. So the episode guides, as Pablo said, are talking about existing canon info, even if that info hasn't been revealed yet. Which means we don't change our approach at all. - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 19:10, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
  • That was my iterpretation as well; it also seems to imply that info featured only in the original episode guides (many of the new episode guides are abriviated versions of the originals) is also fair game because it's from the scripts. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:18, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
