Canon and continuity
"As far as continuity, I see The Clone Wars as being no different than the arrival of the prequels in 1999. We fans knew that those movies would be a representation of the true Star Wars universe as imagined by George Lucas, and in some cases, it would not perfectly match the stories told by Expanded Universe authors. So, we had to unlearn all we had learned about the Mon Calamari being discovered by the Empire, about Boba Fett being Jaster Mereel, and about the Republic having a standing military."

- Pablo Hidalgo

I always considered myself lucky to have been born between the release of the two trilogies. It seems that many older Star Wars fans, whom I have dubbed "loyalists," see the original trilogy as the "real" Star Wars and despise the high-budget, low-yield prequels. On the other hand, many younger fans, whom I have dubbed "prequelists," are enthralled by the prequel trilogy (namely, the Clone Wars), and take little or no interest in the original trilogy. I, however, was introduced to both trilogies at around the same time, and was able to accept both of them without harboring any loyalties or grudges toward either one. As such, I was not offended as many were by the release of the prequels and their contradictions, most of which have since been retconned. Now, The Clone Wars has become to me what the prequel trilogy was to loyalists. I am angered by the lack of respect shown by George Lucas and Dave Filoni, and I dread the release of the rumored live-action series, which I fear will raise several more continuity errors. However, I take some comfort in the quote above, as I realize that the three inconsistencies presented by Pablo Hidalgo, along with many others, have all been retconned sufficiently without having to reduce any major sources to non- or ambiguous-canon. Hopefully, The Clone Wars will hold a similar fate as the prequels as a piece of Star Wars history that was simply forgotten, but still fits within it.

 * Years ago, I had an awesome version of the original trilogy soundtrack with the coolest rendition of Mad About Me I've ever heard; unfortunately, it was stolen in high school along with the CD player containing it. I have since been unable to find another copy of this version, but my search continues.
