How Star Wars" Original Clone Wars Show Can Be Reworked Back Into Canon

Summary

• Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars microseries was the first-ever glimpse into the Clone Wars era, featuring iconic characters like General Grievous and Asajj Ventress.
• Despite being replaced by Dave Filoni's CGI series, parts of the microseries, such as battles and voice actors, were canonized in The Clone Wars.
• The microseries can still fit into canon as an in-universe propaganda show commissioned by Palpatine to sway public opinion in favor of the Republic.

Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars microseries from 2003 is easily one of the innovative and visually unique projects in the franchise. Nevertheless, Dave Filoni’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars ultimately ended up building upon and replacing Tartakovsky’s vivid vision for what occurred between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. There are plenty of discrepancies between the two shows that can’t be reconciled. But despite the Clone Wars microseries being relegated to Star Wars Legends, there is still a way it can fit into canon and still make sense.
The idea of the Clone Wars has changed from it’s first mention in A New Hope. Both the microseries and the cgi series developed the characters and politics of the war, but Tartakovsky’s series is notable for being the very first Star Wars show to explore the era. Furthermore, the series aired on Cartoon Network before Revenge of the Sith came to theaters in 2005, making it the first glimpse of the Clone Wars anyone had ever seen at the time. The series also led straight into Revenge of the Sith, while also giving staple characters such as General Grievous and Asajj Ventress their first on-screen appearances.
