IT IS NOT CANNON, even Lucas himself said they weren't considered cannon.
Do you have a source for this claim?

Sure as hell do
I don't read that stuff. I haven't read any of the novels. I don't know anything about that world. That's a different world than my world. But I do try to keep it consistent. The way I do it now is they have a Star Wars Encyclopedia. So if I come up with a name or something else, I look it up and see if it has already been used. When I said [other people] could make their own Star Wars stories, we decided that, like Star Trek, we would have two universes: My universe and then this other one. They try to make their universe as consistent with mine as possible, but obviously they get enthusiastic and want to go off in other directions. - George Lucas, from an interview in Starlog #337

Look it up. He also mentions in that interview that he has no part of the Sith return. The story ended in Part 6.
Only what's in the movies are cannon, the rest are non cannon to appease fans who are stupid and want more (also to make Lucas lot's of the big dollars)

That's because most people don't know. Most people aren't hard core fans, so why would they care? Most people don't even know what canon means, or that there even is such a thing.

Most people know that the movies are all that counts. Nothing more. Simple as that.
What you are trying to apply is like saying Metal Gear Acid, even though a OFFICIAL METAL GEAR TITLE is cannon in the main story because it is OFFICIAL and made by Konami with influence of Hideo Kojima (who helped with both Acids).
They CLEARLY are not, so they are non cannon.
Just like Ghost Babel (MGS for GBC) is non cannon because it contradicts MG2's events (as if they never happened) and the rest of the series. Yet still it's a official title.
