I don't, and here's why...
The novel and game, as I understand them, are having a heavy-hand from Lucas keeping things "as he wants them". He's sending the books in before his TV show, which he's supposed to be heavily involved in... If he's running the TV show, I'd consider it "canon". As canon as the films are... They say Lucas is writing it, and will have a hand in production and stuff...
And thus he's supposedly heavy handed in the FU media tie-in to keep things as he wants them...
Now, if he's not, to me it just means nothing... Canon is a term that gets thrown around by lots of people but isn't really applicable.
What it could be is that all they're saying is the game will be open-ended and not linear at all to allow for gameplay issues. The book will be set to start and end so it fits with the already established continuity (both canon and just the "official continuity" which is how LFL refers to EU materials), as Lucas wants it to be... Canon? Like I said, it's a word people throw around willy nilly, including SW.com... The powers that be there have said the films are it though for canon, buuuuuuuttttt... Like I said, if Lucas is really helming this multi-media thing and then down the road the TV Series (however many there are), he's obviously wanting it to fit perfectly and not tread on his vision... Especially since FU is supposedly taking place during the time the live-action TV show is to take place.
This is kind of like Lucas and CLone Wars... He didn't personally oversee that project's end and how it lead into Episode 3, and thus it's just part of the "Official Continuity", even though it fits seamlessly with the canon. Lucas just gave them the ideas they could and couldn't go with.
I think if anything this is a slip of the word canon where it's not applicable since LFL's official stance contradicts this... Unless Lucas is running this personally, which I 100% doubt.
