It actually isn't.

Creators can dictate canon if they choose, as the Star Wars Disney folks did recently in wiping out decades of novels and such from their canon, but a poorly reported Jeff Davis interview isn't going to change the canon.

The first and best source is on screen. If something he says conflicts with what is actually shown there might be a discussion but until it happens on screen it's not canon.
