I see it this way. The Lion Guard is canon. But the fact is that the show and the new character introduced there in are a retcon. The creators had to know that by making the series a midquel they would raise questions. There is no need to worry about elements that have not been explained, because the series has not yet run it's course. It's not about Lion King 2 not tying into The Lion Guard that well. It is that we have yet to see how well The Lion Guard will tie itself into Lion King 2.
