I actually quite like that.... as well as seeing Jabba's palace from another angle.

On top of that, the announcement for the Clone Wars game in the Homing Beacon mentions that Tatooine is a "Significant Clone Wars location".
*sigh*

Kinda takes away from the whole image we've been led to believe about the place that is the "furthest point" from the "bright center of the universe" where a jedi knight could hide himself and the son of Vader, that lacks enough water to support much life, is a perfect out-of-the-way place for the wretched scum and villany of the galaxy to hide, and already had one mining endevour fail thousands of years ago due to a lack of having anything to mine.

EDIT: Here's that weird droid thing I couldn't identify on the trailer. Looks kinda like a Bryar pistol on legs.
That's no Bryar Pistol on legs... it doesn't look a bit like Kyle...

But still, he was astonished to discover that the Universe could love him back.

I mean, that was the excuse for the Tartakovsky series taking presedence over LoE.
I coulda sworn the precedence worked the other way around.

It's neither way around. They're both on the same canon level.

I don't like the idea of reshuffling the clone wars to make these new stories fit near the end. The clones are all in Phase I armor which was phased out by then.
No, they're apparently reshuffling the timeline to put these stories at the beginning, which changes things because Anakin's a Knight in these stories, whereas the established timeline stupidly has him knighted too close to the end of the war.

I'm also not sure why this particular piece of EU is more important than any other.
Because LFL says so.
StarkRhavyn posted:
I've come to the personal conclusion that rather than shuffle the clone wars timeline around to fit this series in, I'm just going to view it like Lego Star Wars.
OK, you can view it that way, but I can assure you that if LFL makes a change to the timeline, all new material will be in line with that change, and all old material will be retconned to fit.

So, since it's been confirmed that Karen Traviss is writing (what I can only, at this point, assume to be the novelization to) Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I wonder if this is the beginning of the retconning and timeline-reshuffling phase. Despite KT's own rearrangement of a couple continuity things (for the sake of "the better story"), she is a self-proclaimed retcon and continuity geek, so I take it as a good thing that she's writing this novelization, if that's indeed what it is. KT has contributed quite a big chunk to the Clone Wars mini-mythology in her own right, and I doubt she's going to just let that go. I'm positive about this. I hope she can begin to answer some questions about where this story fits and how all others line up accordingly. It'd be nice if we started getting our retcons now and not, say, ten years from now. Nip it in the bud. That's what I say.
And, hey, the book comes out a day before my wedding anniversary! Yay me!

Yeah, they're on the same level, but where they contradict one has to outrank the other, and I thought Chee said they'd decided LoE superceded the old Clone Wars cartoon where the differences were irreconcilable.

CWGT and LOE both happen to a degree- the majority of their content is showing different parts of the Coruscant battle. There's just 2 or 3 main scenes where they overlap. The CWGT versions are essentially adaptations of the original, more detailed, LOE events in most cases (ie: the cartoon style & format wouldn't have called for the extra Jedi and political advisors in Palpatine's office, etc).
It's much like the comic adaptations of TTT with the huge Noghri- the original novel's description of them being short takes precedence over the adaptation.
LOE came first first, based on the same Lucas backstory that was eventually passed along to GT, thus it would take precdence where the productions diverged due to medium deadlines.

Clearly they were just off-screen the entire time in the cartoon.

Palpatine's office does have an antechamber- they were probably in there

ugh. 5 novels, a young reader series and a comic series.
I guess I'm not going to be able to just discount this as part of the continuity, am I?
