Forum:KB:What Happened to Boga?

According to the book Obsessed With Star Wars, Boga survived falling into the sinkhole on Utapau. Are guide books like that now considered non-canon, and if so does that mean Boga died, lived or are we not sure? In fact on that note, are the names "Boga" or "varactyl" even canon anymore? I don't recall hearing them in Episode 3...
