Clone Wars micro-series, is it canon?

I know there was a thread that covered this, but I did a normal search and a search of the archive boards. I looked for: "Clone Wars canon," "Clone Wars micro-series," "Spanky says," ect.

Bit I could not find it.

So, my question is, where on the canon chart does the Clone Wars series fall? Also, would it be higher or lower than the guides and novels?

Thanks.

Since it wasn't made by Lucas, it certainly isn't G-level. I'd definitely say that it falls on the C level with the rest of the EU.

It subjectively seems like it has less canoncity than the other Clone Wars novels, but that's just me.

I always considered it EU. Didn't the microseries have Lucas's blessing?

If I recall correctly, yes. When the inital plans for the micro-series were made, he wanted Gendy Tartakovsky doing it because he's apparently a big fan of Samurai Jack.

So is it above or below things like the guide? Or about equal? I ask this because there are instances where the two conflict.

I personally would put it fairly low in the "official" category, since the Jedi do a hell of a lot with the Force that vastly overshadows what we've seen them do in the movies. What Mace did in the desert and what the Sith-wannabe chick did both to impress Dooku and fighting Anakin put movie Sith Lords like Darth Maul to shame, so I'd call what you see in the Clone Wars shorts exaggerations at the very least.

Of course, I'm something of a movie purist, so your mileage may vary.

It's in the common star wars topics sticky. Locked.
