Clone Wars V.S. EU continuity
Dark Clone:
It seems that Lucas is wanting to distance himself and the movies from the EU.
My examples:
1. In "Tales From Mos Eisley Cantina" (play it again, Figrin D'an: The tale of Muftak and Kabe)
It states that Muftak was left on Tatooine while in a cocoon. He later found out that he was from
the planet Alzoc III.
In the CW. The species of Muftak are found on a frigid landscape of Orto Plutonia
I'm no biologist, but it is hard for me to belive that Muftak could survive on Tatooine when he is from a fridgid planet.
2. In the EU. We are led to believe that Mandalorians ruled Mandalore and obeyed there own laws.
In the CW. We find out that Mandalore has been ruled by a Duchess and that thet have always have had a government. Now Death Watch have cropped up to try and overthrow the Mandalorian Government.
Governor Pre Vizsla wants to rule Mandalore.
Ben and Qui-Gon spent a year on Mandalor protecting the Duchess from insurgents. Prior to the Death Watch uprising.
3. In the EU. Aurra Sing is said to have been Force sensitive and was once a Jedi learner.
But not one time did she use the Force when she had many opportunities. Nore was she detected to be Force sensitive from Anakin or Kenobi.
Dark Clone:
Now we will find out that Darth Maul IS NOT from the planet Iridonia. Zabrak, yes. Iridonian, no.
Lt. Starfox:
sometimes we must throw out any beforehand knowledge :-\ but i'm sure there is some kind of reason behind any changes, some unknown parts of stories that get filled in
RDJMChris:
I try to take the cartoon as an "off-shoot" of the SW continuity. Maybe even a re-imagining (if there is such a word). It is a fun show to watch, but I don't use it for continuity purposes.
Especially in the case of the Talz (Muftak's species). Foul Moudama was a Jedi Knight who fought in the first CW cartoon during the invasion of Coruscant, but Obi-wan and Anakin don't even recognize the species.......
Just take it for the entertainment value and don't use it as a source of continuity.
My $.02.

I totally agree with you. I know somethings get overwritten at times and thats just the way it is and the clone wars was fine at first but the more this goes on the more I feel that they are rewriting way to much.
