Where do Clone wars cartoon fit into storyline?

Are they official or more EU cause if anakin truly does have a vision like he does in chapter 24 how does he not know what was going to happen to him (like luke does in the OT)?

 

They are official. The fit inbetween AotC and RotS.

 

But they still fit in between AotC and RotS. So, I'm kinda right, right? ::slight shrug::

 

They fit inbetween AOTC and ROTS. Technically it's EU, but probably more valid then post ROTJ or pre TPM EU.

 

I think George Lucas was actually involved in creating the episodes. So I consider them official.

 

As I. I don't think of it as EU bc it's a cartoon or visual. I think of books as EU for some reason.

 

" Anything not in the films is considered EU,"

Why would films written by Lucas be OK but TV shows like The Ewok Adventure which Lucas is a writer not be?

Well, two arguments here. One is that Lucas wishes to somewhat disown all of these separate programs as he has done with the Holiday Special.

Also, these are, in all honesty an expansion to the central plot of his universe, that being the story of Anakin Skywalker as told only in the films. The term official really ONLY applies to the six films and nothing more. This doesn't mean that the others are 'fake' or 'not cannon'. Official, at least in my mind, has come to signify something different in the case of Lucas' world. I hate to bring in a religious argument for fear that I might earn someone's wrath, but I only mean to use this example for structure.

Think of the movies as the Four Gospels considered cannon by the current existing church. The films are equivelant to these. The other books are merely extensions of this 'central' storyline, although arguably they are just as 'real' and 'important' as the central story. Also, you can then think of the Ewok movies and Lucas' other projects as a member in the category of the book of Acts... published by the same author of a gospel, but not a gospel.

Official is the term in my mind that Lucas has come to say is HIS vision of this universe, and what the essential pieces of the story in his mind are. Ultimately though, cannon is decided separately by each and ever viewer, including Lucas himself. He may have ultimate control over his own presentation of the story, but it is quite impossible for him to control the interpretation of the story by his audience, and also how they choose to envision and expand upon it.

 

so does that mean they are cannon?

 

Does anyone know if The Cartoon Network will be showing the Clone Wars season 1 again?

 

Not sure, but the DVD is only $14 or so, which is a decent deal. I just watched that again the other night on a huge widescreen television.

Oh man, good times!
