First off, NOTHING is as valid canon as the movies.
My mistake, I should have written second only to the movies. As CW is a visual rather than printed medium, it is a higher level of canon than a novelization, because the audience is being
shown what is happening, what the characters can do etc, where in a novel, the reader has to use their imagination to 'fill in the details'.

Second, the CW events are canon, and feats that make sense in terms of the movies are. But things like Mace killing like 500 super-battle droids with the force and his fists alone is not.
It can't be half canon. Either everything that occurs is canon (which you've agreed the events are) or none of it is. The acts are what 'make' the events, so it is all intertwined.

It goes against everything displayed in the movies, and books etc. that Mace is capable of. In general terms, if it was true, then in Shatterpoint Mace woulda kicked the crap outta Kar vastor, but he lost (yet in the CW cartoons he can punch through durasteel, but somehow later on he cant punch through human flash?). As well he would simply walk into a battle and use the force to wipe out hundreds of droids, but he cant. It makes no sense, so its not canon.But, the fact that Mace was involved in the battle is still canon, as well as the battles outcome. But some specific feats are not.
AS I said above, the feats and acts are what make the events possible. Who said that Mace
can't punch through human flesh? Just because he did not do so with Palpatine, does not mean that he
could not do so. Infact, a line from theTPM Visual dictionary may explain the phenomenon:
Faced with the mechanized minions of the Trade Federation droid army, Obi-Wan knows that he need not exercise the combat restraint he would use with living beings.

Needless to say all the CW cartoons will soon be rendered N-Canon, when Lucas does the CG CW show.
Lucas has not done it yet, so the validity of CW stands (for now)
