For awhile, I still wanted to count it, because I found that interview with Stover where he talked about George having line-edited the book, but glompcat mentions that Pablo Hidalgo had specifically said that the book is no longer canon. I bow to what LF decides!
I still think it carries weight in the sense of Anakin's portrayal in it, because that's what Stover talks about the most of how he had no wiggle room on it, so it can be used as a frame of reference to how George Lucas approved of Anakin, but you can't use it as Canon.
So, I'd say not quite on the level of Word of God, certainly not on the level of Canon, but carrying more weight than the other stuff of Legends, just a bit.
