The reasons for Leland Chee doing what he does doesn't matter. If on Thursday he states that the events in the CW cartoon are canon, as well as the feats, then that's how it is. If on Friday he then states that he changed his mind and now the events are canon but the feats aren't... that's just how it is.

The idea that Sylo later made videos of the Battle of Dantooine has been used by some fans to claim that the entire Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series is nothing more than an in-universe cartoon, and thus its events cannot be taken as absolute continuity but rather as a general outline of what really "happened." This theory especially gained ground with the release of Volume II and the continuity errors between it and Labyrinth of Evil. However, the theory has been discounted by Leland Chee, who maintains that everything shown in the series "happened" as depicted.-Wookieepedia
Quote, source? Wookiepedia is a shaky, unofficial fansite. Leland Chee's official words > Wookie.

No, but they could be outdated or just misinformed. Which is why we need the actual quote to determine for ourselves. Do you believe everything you read?
Leland could have also said that Dark Empire is no longer canon, so should we not considered it canon since we don't have a direct quote from Leland. We can not go by " well Leland might have changed his mind" unless we have proof he did.
It's painfully evident that Chee's words are for the sake of continuity. Lucas himself lauded the feats performed in the television series, suggesting that had he the budget or the masturbating-tendancies of most directors -- we would see such actions depicted. This pro-Nebaris idea that the swordsmen and Force sensitives of the prequel trilogy are limited to somewhat fast movement and extremely impotent Force powers is the very definition of stupid.

I'm not positive if this was directed at anyone in particular, but I'd like to say that I never base my opinions off of the CGI skills in the movies. Which is part of the reason I said ROTJ Luke beats ROTS Dooku in sabers. 😉
Just wanna make that clear.

Unless someone can come up with the source where Leland has said the CW microseries were exaggerated, then the arguement is in my favor.
Siddy, did you read my post? Here's the quote:
"One other thing to keep in mind is that the target audience for the cartoons and the novels is different so they will each have a different approach to storytelling. As a result, certain action scenes and Jedi abilities sometimes will be exagerated in the cartoon..." (and yes, he did misspell "exaggerated".)
Which can be found in the EU Leadup to Revenge of the Sith topic on the official site's forum.
