Now that it is officially set for launch in Theaters, the Clone Wars Animated Movie will be on par with the saga. Will you see it in theater, or will you wait? What do you think of Anakin's first Jedi-Padawan, Ahsoka Tano?
With all that is involved, how will this affect how your view the PT?

It's just more characterization that will add weight to Anakin's downfall.
I am really looking forward to this, and it will be the first time I have planned to go to a theater on launch since Episode III.
The only movie I have seen in the theater since then was Grindhouse, and while that was entertaining, the only reason I went to a theater to see it was because I had time to kill and couldn't just go home real quick.
But this is worth making a point to go see it the day it comes out.
It's odd that Anakin has a Padawan, and it seems like the Padawan in this new CG movie was chosen -for- Anakin, which seems to contradict the previous convention that Padawans are chosen by their Masters, but hopefully it will be explained in such a way as to make good sense.
After all, the previous convention wasn't mentioned in the movies themselves, so it's possible that this new way of doing things will end up being "the cannon" way of doing things.
But I don't mind having a character like her there for the audience to relate to. It works good for making the exposition more believable as she will need to be filled in on everything as they go.

That sentiment is highly debatable.

Well based on George's comment "forget all you have heard about the Jedi" and also the creators saying that they wanted to show "who Anakin was, that Obi-Wan and he were truly brothers and best friends" - well I believe that a lot of what has been written in the non-G novels will be negated. I personally think that is a good thing, because there are few novels that I've read where I left feeling like Obi-Wan was Anakin's friend - he always seems like a frightened Master who wants to get as far away from Anakin as he can, but feels obliged to hang around because of his promise to Qui-Gon and because he has grown to be the person who knows Anakin best - but that is not much at all. I always get the feeling that author's don't want Obi-Wan to come off stupid in the end, and so they make it out like he "always suspected Anakin of evil all along" (and that goes for many of the other Masters as well). But it isn't about being fooled because Anakin himself was fooled and decieved by the lies of Palpatine and right up to the end he had no intention of becoming a Sith - 'What have I done' - all the roads narrowed to one. So I hope George actually does show us a more realistic side of Anakin who could not have been continuously a man of hatred and anger as he is so often shown in the books (or the Jedi would really be ignorant - despite the fact that he did heroic things) - and also so that Obi-Wan and Anakin can be shown to be the heroes of the clone wars they were made out to be in the movie. Obi-Wan said in ANH, Anakin was the best pilot in the galaxy and a cunning warrior and we know that Obi-Wan was equally talented, so let's see it!
BTW, I think the little padawan will be a nice and refreshing addition. I presume she will die or leave the Order and they will come up for some reason why 'no one mentions her name' after that. It may take a small suspension of our belief systems to fit that into the canon, but in reality, it will open up a whole new avenue in the Animated series that will give it something fresh and new of its own. I don't mind additions as much as twisting characters out of their personality which is how I see many of the novels (and comics too) - not all - but many (and I have read them all).

I will not accept this as "on par with the films" because it's not live action and it doesn't fit into the six-part Saga except as a space-filler. I've no doubts it will entertain, and perhaps clarify some points of fan contention such as the whole Sifo-Dyas escapade, but ultimately it will count in my personal mythology as alternate-universe EU material.
Also, the weird character design and general unreal look of the work may prevent me from suspending my disbelief, and enjoying it on the same level as the movies. We shall see.

What you have written, is a major reason that I started this thread. The new series will change what we know to be true about Anakin and the others. I think the marketing of a young female Padawan; Skywalker's Padawan to be exact, is absolutely brilliant. Wanna bet that the previews will have a nice big TFU trailer? What a way to expand the fanbase, and create interest in Vader's next apprentice... who will conveniently be availabe for 'playthrough' about a week after the debut of the new animated movie...
EDIT2:
Anthony Daniels is 3PO, and there are reports that SLJ may reprise his role for Mace, and Hayden has volunteered to voice-over the new Anakin.

I'm intrigued, but I don't know how it will affect my view of the PT. If I had only seen the C4 presentation I'd say I might soon have to say they've succeeded in turning the Jedi into what Lucas apparently wants them to be (corrupt) but, given his introduction on starwars.com it seems more like they'll be the well-meaning but deceived group that they should be.
I'm hoping we Asoka die in the series so that we get to see Obi-Wan help Anakin deal with her death without falling(demonstrating why Palpatine made sure Obi-Wan was off of Coruscant before attempting to finish turning Anakin.)

Excellent point.
I'm looking forward to how they attempt to weave it all together.

I've got faith that Filloni will make it gel well given that he's a big enough fan to own a Plo Koon costume.

The credits would have to include STORY BY GEORGE LUCAS for me to take it even halfway seriously.

ooo sweet! Daniels is so darn perfect, his inflection and everything. Would be great to have Samuel and Hayden too, as we are familiar with their voices. And Samuel's droll diction keeps me in stitches no matter what role he is playing. And Hayden has that sexy, deep twang that is endemic to the character. Now if only they could get old Ewan to voice over Obi-Wan we'd be all set.

My son and daughter and I will be there on opening day. If they release it at midnight... I'll be there by myself. I saw TPM, AOTC, and ROTS at the opening midnight shows and wouldn't be able to miss this one even if it isn't an "official" movie.

If this takes off, they might CG up a movie for the movieless chapter: Shadows of the Empire.
