The Clone Wars is non canon?

[President Bossk]

Someone told me that in a interview George Lucas said The Clone Wars was just what-if stories, not meant to be taken seriously and were non-canon prior to Disney takeover? And Disney just made them canon? Can anyone confirm this? Sounds kinda fake but I wanted proof to show this dude it was canon prior to Disney.

Star Wars The Clone Wars is part of the new canon

Lucas said the original expanded universe were just "what-if stories". Not the Clone Wars.
