ok so acording to what ive look around the newest instalments of the guidebooks this one on the smuggler way of life is cannon

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Smuggler%27s_Guide

now some spilers ahead i noticed that in this book is not only a HK model but a image of a Corellian XS Stock Light Freighter otherwise known as the smugglers ship from this game.

it seems more and more disney is intrested in the old republic era now i know the game isnt cannon but it does throw further evidance that they may do something with the era in the future.
