That would be contradicted by LoE, in which. . . a hell of a lot of things happen way differently.

LoE was an EU novel, the Clone Wars cartoons were canon 'bridging' stories. Even though I haven't read LoE so can't comment on something I don't know about, it is safe to say that in the 'scheme of things' Clone Wars supercedes it as a more official version of events.

No, it doesn't. Clone Wars cartoon is not more canon than LoE.

The fact that it was licenced and approved by Lucas means that yes, it is. Lucas couldn't give two shits what authors write in their novels as long as Luke doesn't get killed, and is always the strongest. He would have had quite an issue with the Clone Wars had it not lead directly into RotS (unless it allowed a gap for further events to unfold, which it did not) Again, I haven't read LoE, but I'd be willing to bet that it doesn't tie into the beginning of RotS as accurately as Clone Wars does.

That's funny, because your lack of knowledge on the topic undoes your point- Events in the cartoon's third season are BASED on LoE with only a few subtle changes. Since both the novelisation and the cartoon are approved by Lucasfilm and neither are actually parts of the original movies, they are on equal standings according to the EU policy. When two pieces of EU contradict, and ONE of them is based on the other (In this case, the cartoons are based on LoE), then the original wins out.

Third season? That's certainly news to me. When you say it's based off LoE, is this third season set during the original period covered by the Clone Wars, somehow crammed into the seconds between the end of Season Two and RotS, or does it follow on from RotS? Just because a 3rd season might be based on LoE (which I've heard nothing about, so I'm not exactly convinced by your arguement), that does not mean that the preceding seasons (which had nothing to do with LoE and link directly into RotS) are any less official, because although the novel may have inspired them to write some new episodes, in Star Wars, it has been soudly proven that any kind of moving pictures (be it movie or cartoon) always takes precedence over written material, so even if it is similar but with differences, that Clone Wars cartoons will always be considered more canon than a novel. I'm not getting into a debate over which is or is not more official, because that was not the point of the thread. Who do you think would be victorious in the battle mentioned?

Is there a third season?
