EG referencing the movie doesn't automatically make EG canon, as it also referenced events from the show such as how Twilight became a princess. If the show referenced EG (which it kinda did with the Dazzlings), THAT would be proof of its canonocity. Just like Season 8 referenced the movie, confirming the movie is canon.

Though, if the Storm King did appear without any hint as to how he came back from his defeat in the movie, that could constitute a plot hole. So either he's a ghost (unlikely, because Liev Schreiber), or it's just his magic inside the staff. Maybe the magic manifests itself into a shadow of him or something.
