It's actually all canon, just on different canon levels. G-Canon(George Canon
) is the gospil that can't be overwritten by anyone but George himself.
Next is this new T-Canon(TCW plus the upcoming Live Action Series), which isn't quite on the same level as the films but is still considered by George as his story.
C-Canon rounds out the the canon levels(other than infinities), and thats the books/comics/games, so on. C-Canon undergoes the most changes but also makes up the largest part of the universe.
C-Canon only ceases being canon if it is directly contradicted by a new source. That source could be TCW, or even a new novel or comic.
Take the case of TCW Grievous for example, because Filoni made it slightly ambigous his back story remains in canon, just C-Canon like it always was. The original backstory has even been incorporated into The Clone Wars Visual Guide.
The canon levels are right from LFL itself, its not that most things are not canon, its that they are considered a more flexible canon. Everything outside of an infinities style story is considered canon in the Star Wars universe.
George has stated that he doesn't consider the books/comic/games his story, but that he would like everything to fit together. As such he created these departments within LFL to look after the massive universe.
I hope that helps to explain that a little. It's the way that LFL as a corporation continues to tell its various customers that they all count, even if small/large changes occur.
I'd actually prefer that the novel/comic verse got broken off into a seperate continuity myself, but George Lucas himself doesn't want that so he hired folks like Leeland Chee and Jason Fry to make as much as possible fit.

He done an excellent job in the situation he's facing. He knows if he changes too much he risks alienating long time Star Wars fans, at the same time he's steered around many fan loved backstories(like Grievous and Vos) to keep them meaningful.
This whole Mandalorian thing is a different deal being that George ordered the sweeping changes himself. Filoni did include
Mando'a so that I love, even if everything else is being overwritten.

Vizsla comes complete with hypocrisy
Sure kill your underling for not killing Obi-Wan but don't punish yourself................One of his guards should have turned on him and said "You failed", shooting him in kind.
