Filoni and MTV
MTV Movieblog interview with Filoni, again reiterating how involved Lucas is and the treatment of EU 'facts' as optional:
The fear with anything Lucas involves himself with -- he's always said that his word is gospel as far as the franchise goes -- is that something fundamental in the EU, something that fans love, runs the risk of being changed in some way.
"Obviously [George is] aware of the EU," Filoni said. "He is the creator of the universe for 'Star Wars' and he's got things he wants to do. We discuss a lot of the different characters and whatnot in the EU and it's really 'are we going to do that?' It's the same way the [new trilogy was] made. It's not really beholden to [the EU], but it's always considered."

#1 WTF is the big deal about canon?
#2 If a Star Wars novel is published, it doesn't happen without Lucas' blessing, therefore it's just as much canon as the movies. The fact that he didn't write it is simply an additional bonus, Lucas being the lousy writer he is (albeit imaginative, still the worst dialogue since Ed Wood).
#3 Get out of the basement.
