Lit Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Jason Fry is a good man. He tries to combine all EU sources that ever existed.
The only problem is even good authors such as him will not be able to figure out how TCW fits in the TCW shown in novels and comic books.
Even people such as Leland Chee and Daniel Wallace are also trying to fix things, but it seems a mission impossible to me.

Durge did that hundreds of years before that. He was caught up in some conspiracy to start a war between the Mando's and the Sith during the New Sith wars

Well, it is a bit confusing when it did take place, don't you think?

The two conflicting accounts of the Clone Wars are so contradictory, that I am surprised that anyone, but those who disliked the Clone Wars multimedia project in the first place, can accept TCW.

No. The Republic's attack on Mandalore, known as the "Mandalorian Excision", took place in 738 BBY. Durge's strike against the rogue Mand'alor didn't take place until centuries after that, around 100 BBY.

Jason Fry's already established that they're members of the same clan.

As of 100th episode, the total running time of TCW movie and Seasons 1-4 is already more than twice longer than that of the Episodes 1-6 put together. Such large amount of material does not get simply ignored or deemed non-canon. Like it or not, TCW is here to stay.

That's not to say it can't be reconciled with original Clone Wars stories. Jason Fry's works and Essential Reader companion already cleared up most of the big issues.

not everybody acts like the feuding Hutts

There is no reconciling things for me, because I am perfectly happy with the Clone Wars multimedia project and feel like everything I like about the Clone Wars is being destroyed by George Lucas and LFL's belief that they are entitled to do whatever the heck they want.

One word: perspective.

That must be it, because I see the multimedia project as the Clone Wars and TCW as revisionist history.

Hutts have moved beyond killing each other over such disputes, after all it is one of the ideas behind the Hutt Grand Council and the Kajidics.

as if letting their slaves fight it out for them is any better

Mandalore, you're delicious!

Well way more cost efficient for one and of course saver for the Hutts.

They are lucky their brain is so wibbley wobbley... or else they'd no longer alive. Guess evolution really gave them some advantages indeed I admit.

Well, I'm sure in about 10 years, Disney won't care for either one.

10 years?

I'm expecting Anakin and Ahsoka to visit the Mouse Planet much quicker than that.

Heh, Emissaries from Malastare is a gold mine for random awesomeness.

Nice shout-out to SOTME...

Now Filoni will know where to look...

I mean, seriously, Mace. Someone brings up a species' natural regenerative abilities and you immediately use it as a springboard to cast aspersions upon an entire race consisting of at the very least billions of unique individuals with their own unique personalities, intelligence quotients, and moral standards?

Star Wars authors are really bad about endorsing allegorical bigotry sometimes.

I really do understand your frustrations, man, but at some point you're just going to have to make peace with the fact that you're on the losing side of history. TCW is the definitive account of the Clone Wars now. The earlier stories still exist to whatever extent is still possible (and that's a larger extent than I think you're willing to concede), but the old Clone Wars multimedia project just plain does not stand alone anymore, and never will ever again. You'd have better luck trying to live in a world where the OT was still the beginning and end of the Star Wars story.

I honestly don't think TCW and the CW multimedia project are as blatantly contradictory as some say it is. There are conflicting accounts, of course, concerning character deaths, but it's honestly not even close to be incompatible, particularly if you choose to ignore the dates on both works and say that the CW stuff is earlier in the war, with TCW comprising the second half (since there is utterly no reason in story why it needs to take place so early in the war).
