Animated Shorts Classics Why is Lucas not getting credit for Droids, Ewoks and Clone Wars'03?

This is probably not an essential question, but still I'm interested. George Lucas is considered to be an Executive Produced for three Star Wars animation series, but does NOT receive real EP screen credit for his work on them (except for "Characters"). The only SW show where Lucas actually gets credit "Creator / EP" is TCW'08. Why?

 

Well about 2003 Clone Wars animation, as far as I know it was made without Lucas's involvement, unlike 2008 The Clone Wars Animation, where he was the actual director of the series. So which is also why 2003 Clone Wars animation is not canon while 2008 The Clone Wars Animation is.

 

But at the time of the release, CW'2003 was implied by canon. And Lucas is featured in some of the series' creation documentaries. And from them it is clear that he is not a stranger to production.

As far as I know, he held several plot meetings with Tartakovsky, where he outlined the main events that need to be shown.

In Ewoks and Droids, he acted in a similar way. Participated in story meetings with the writers, where he outlined the ideas that he would like to see in the series. He didn't do serials every day, but he had his "hand" in them.

 

I don't argue with that. But Lucas' work on previous shows was enough to get him credit. And he enjoyed messing with it. Droids and Ewoks clearly bear the imprint of George's production style In CW, he did not interfere with Tartakovsky's vision, but key events came from him. All these series were a kind of passion for Lucas, even if he did not have such a huge relationship with them as with TCW 2008.
