Forum:SH:FFG TFA Game Status and Galactic Atlas

There are two things on the agenda:

1) FFG's The Force Awakens Beginner Game Canonical Status

I've noticed that The Force Awakens Beginner Game and A Call for Heroes is considered canon, however if memory serves me right, I'm more than positive that whatever comes from Fantasy Flight Game's is considered non-canon, like their Star Wars: Armada miniatures game. However, Ayrehead02 states that:

"Last I saw Pablo's stance on FFG's canon status was literally "I'll leave that up to the Wook to decide" so I doubt we'll ever be 100% certain, but since this is entirely based around new canon stuff it seems like a pretty safe bet. I'm pretty sure I remember Leland Chee said that they were basically keeping the galaxy maps from the atlas intact, and since the TFA visual dictionary did almost exactly the same thing I feel the argument for it is pretty strong."

Thus, if anyone has the quote where Pablo states that, or confirms the TFA Beginner Game's canonical status, I'd like to open this topic up to discussion. (I'm not going to lie, the images from the game are to die for.)

2) Galactic Atlas Pre-Release Info

The upcoming reference book, Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, scheduled for release in November 2016, already has a galactic map and two other pages released online on both the Edelweiss catalog and on the Jedi Bibliotek in higher quality. Since pages on the wiki are already using images from the Atlas, my question was whether or not pre-release info such as this should be used on the site, and whether or not the other pages released early should be added to articles. Especially since these images make mention of a BBY/ABY dating system which has so far been absent from the canon, and might be a simple 'typo' on the authors part.
