Star Wars Battle Pod - Canon?

Star Wars Battle Pod : are these missions canon?

Vader's Revenge: This stage, which takes place right after the Battle of Yavin, includes an original storyline exclusive to Star Wars: Battle Pod. The player pilots Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1, trying to prevent the Rebel Alliance from salvaging a superlaser from the wreckage of the Death Star.

I'm 90% sure the events in Battle Pod are not canon.

Also this would be better suited to the Off-Topic forum. ;)

EDIT:

According to Wookieepedia, this is the canon events of Vader after the Death Star blew up.

Shortly after the battle, Vader sent a distress signal to the Devastator to send a ship to pick him up and bring him back from the Yavin system to the Star Destroyer. Sometime later, he would fly just beyond the ever-expanding debris field that once was the Death Star, when Imperial pilots Ciena Ree and Berisse Sai arrived in a Gozanti-class cruiser. Docking his TIE Advanced x1 with the freighter, Vader passed through the airlock door, and met Ree. Then, he ordered Ree and Sai to remain in the hold for the remainder of the voyage while he took command of the freighter until they returned to the Devastator.

This was from the great book Lost Stars. He was just drifting in the debris until they picked him up.

I've also reached out to the story group's Pablo Hidalgo on twitter about Battle Pod for extra confirmation. But it's pretty safe to assume that it is not canon.

Interesting...

But why would he lock up the crew essentially? Weird

He doesn't lock them up. he just tells them to wait in the hold. He doesn't want to be around people. i imagine he might have been kinda moody after that.

Lost Stars is one of the best new canon novels so far (in my opinion).
