Does anyone have a quote to confirm whether they are or aren't?

Note, specifically the scripts that never made it into the movies themselves if it makes any difference.

More canon than the Novelisations.

No, nothing explicitly makes them canon. But they're usually better considered as part of the film instead of another source, IMO. Though it doesn't really matter either way.

How would you reconcile the differences between the film and the script?

Beniboybling
obviously the script takes precedence. sad

Absolutely not. The scripts were written by that hack George Lucas who thinks Jar Jar is the best Star Wars character.

Zack Snyder is still the biggest hack tho.

Michael Bay is a bigger hack smile

No.1 Hack is Filoni.

I was under the impression scripts were stated to be G-Canon by Chee for the old Holocron - could be wrong though. They're non-canon in the current Disney Canon regardless.

They were.

"Jar Jar is the key to all this..."

^ there's proof that George Lucas IS a hack.

Given that Lucas had a hand in the scripts, it applies.

Except for ESB, though it'd be in the Canon anyway.

Arguably, the scripts can fill in the blanks, but do include things changed last second by GL. GL, as usual, is a ham-fisted buffoon who likes to ruin his own work, so this is why Kit Fisto's head isn't on a desk, or why you never see Sids lose his lightsaber in combat.
