In Star Wars Clone Wars Anakin is a fully blown Jedi Knight?

Yet in Jedi Trial some 2 years later he is still a padawan? Did he get demoted?

A super-powered being punched the Star Wars universe and continuity was altered forever....

 

I don't suppose they could just alter Jedi Trials place in the timeline so it happens just before Clone Wars? That would save the continuity.

 

Being serious for a mo' - this area just attracts mick-taking - there is a devoted Clone Wars Continuity thread, might be on p5 or 6 by now, but it's a big old thread and will answer all your questions.

One the mods might throw a link in to it too - when they likely lock this one due to it duplicating.

 

In before the lock!

As I understand it, the new procedure for anything that happens during the Clone Wars is a continuity free for all. It's up to the individual fan to decide where the stories fit. In my personal universe, Jedi Trial takes place before the series.

This was done because it is simply impossible to make a coherent timeline due to the conflicting stories. Someone have a link?

 

The books are placed in the order they happened in a list at the beginning of each new Star Wars novel. Clone Wars being right after AOTC and Jedi Trial being just before Yoda Dark Rendezvous. Though if Anakin is a Knight in Clone Wars the order must be out of place. Unless he did actually recieve a demotion.

In The Approaching Storm Obi-Wan says Anakin is set to become a Knight before he's 20 so that would actually fit better with The Clone Wars continuity. Probably would have been better had they just left the T-canon separate from the C-canon though. We'll avoid such things as Jabba ending up with a son. I dread to think what the live action TV series is going to do to the continuty if they try and incorporate that as well.

 

Did'nt the old CW cartoons actually show his knighting ceremony?

 

Yes.

Yep... they demoted him after he lost Tano on the far side of some moon.

-Seriously, how could he have a Padawan and still be one himself.
Loved the bomb up top BTW.
Priceless.

 

That's kinda creepy.

 

Continuity reshuffling is something that all Star Wars fans need to accept whenever a period that's already covered much is re-examined. Rebel Force, Marvel Comics, and Rebellion for example are all there.

Amusingly, Anakin has a padawan now.

Does that mean Halagad Ventor was Obi Wan's next apprentice after Anakin graduated?

 

In my little world, there is no continuity and any of this, or none of it, may have actually happened.

 

Yet another of many reasons to forget this whole CGI mess!!

 

surely the title of this thread could have been worded better...

 

I thought Captain Marvel put the universe back together and forgot some things...

 

Given almost everyone I know, adult and child, loves the series.

What's your issue?

 

Also I don't understand why Anakin was assigned a Padawan, that's never happened in the EU before. Jedi get to choose their own Padawans as a rule.

Anakin is a fully blown Jedi Knight?

Because it's... not good.

 

Ruins a lot of great continuity, gives Anakin (who acts nothing like he did in the movies and who the Jedi Council appears to trust) a Padawan, introduces Mary Sues such as Ahsoka and Cad Bane (no, he's not a Thrawn rip-off - he just has blue skin and red eyes! The coyboy hat shows his uniqueness, and he's the new greatest Star Wars character!), contradicts the films (clones going against orders), turns Grievous into a Saturday-morning cartoon coughing coward (more than ROTS; seriously, I wanted to turn Lair of Grievous off when watching it) unlike the cartoon and comic Grievous which was much more serious, ironically, has Jar Jar commanding clones, has Anakin and Obi-Wan making jokes about Count Dooku right in front of him, has the Dark Lord of the Sith unable to defend himself against twenty pirates, has flat, boring villains, uses Padme as a prisoner whenever she has screentime, has Padme make the decisions of Palpatine, has it seem like Padme and Jar Jar are the only/leading Senators, has continuity errors simply between two episodes, is overall boring for me (I don't even watch it anymore) because we know the beginning and the ending and about the entire first version of the war - which was much better, battle droids are jokes (yes, they were in ROTS as well, but that was for comic relief, which TCW doesn't need anymore of), and doesn't appear to be able to take itself seriously.

And I know kids who think it's ridiculous.

 

I don't understand why you made this thread when it's a subject that has been discussed to death for months and there is already a thread devoted to continuity and The Clone Wars.

 

Are...are you serious?

 

Ask anyone. Usually the 'ruin' of continuity makes for much better stories. See Fett, Boba.

Honestly, if Ahsoka wasn't a Mary Sue, I'd be surprised. Although in Storm Over Ryloth, she made a major mistake of her mission, and paid for it. She learned something.
Cad Bane can't be judged yet. We've only seen about 10 minutes of him so far.

Dude, most Duros have blue skin and red eyes.

Clones going against orders can be pegged down to genetic imperfections. For about 4 million or so clones, one or two going bad is excellent, from a scientific point of view. Every experiment has little inconsistencies, why can't this one?

Grievous was supposed to be a 'villain of the week' type villain. That's what George was going for in Episode III. He wanted a villain to command the CIS armies.

Ahem, have you read any of the comics? He was a coward even before then.

Jar Jar has to command the clones. He's the highest ranking person there. Plus, I don't quite think he was leading them per se, he was just providing a distraction. Also, he was a commanding General in the Battle of Naboo. Even if we know it was just a big joke, the clones don't. In their minds, he helped win that battle.

Anakin and Obi-Wan make jokes in front of Dooku in Episode III.

IE: "This time, we take him together." "I was about to say that."

Can't explain this one.

Honestly, she was a prisoner for some of Episode I and II. She's kicked her own fair share of butt, too.

Really? Padme' hasn't made any decisions of Palpatine. Name a few suggestions, and then we'll talk.

If you're going to take that stance, then why even start watching it at all? It's how they get there that's exciting, not actually getting there.

Have you seen Rookies? Trespass? Cloak of Darkness? How about the Lurmen duology? The show takes itself plenty seriously.

I dare you to name a childrens show that has such interesting animation, music, direction, and plot development from the last five years.

 

Yet, Maul wasted an entire base that was packed with mercs and bodyguards when he singlehandedly brought Black Sun to it's knees...

Yeah, the CW cartoons have plenty of dumb inconsistencies.

IMO: Lucas doesn't REALLY care about canon or continuity. He's leading this project, and his direction is all over the place, PT-Anakin is not the same as CW-Anakin.
