well, not much of what gl has done in recent years has been within the realm of good ideas. while obiwan was granted a padawan just after becoming a jedi, that was under extreme circumstances. not only that but its obvious that said padawan will somehow be killed. so i guess he'll be like kenny from south park.
So, it's finally confirmed. They will start the Clone Wars series with a feature film on the cinemas in August 08: http://www.starwars.com/theclonewars/news/announcement.html#hljs
Also, here's the first in a series of web-docs:

Lots of new footage.
Wow.. in the cinema's. Canon's gonna be all screwed up. Looks good.
Too bad the preview doc basically says Lucas didn't find a way to tell Anakin's story in three movies properly, as well as his firendship with OB1... The guy in the [preview doc said that due to the animated series Anakin's conversion will have a great impact. Why couldn't George manage that in the three movies??
No... but they clealryu link it to movies. This animator supervisor or whatever , said GL could finally add more to the relationship between Anakin and OB1 in the animated series, something he couldn't get to in the movies and that it will enhance the drama of Anakin's fall in ROTS. A) How weird, he had three movies to make that relationship work (but failed, I agree) B) if we need it to 'feel for ROTS' then it should be canon. It almost sounds like patchwork for the movies.
