George Lucas, the genius who gave us Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi has already let many of his fans down with the prequels. Now it looks like he's about to do it again with Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which will be an animated movie released this August.
I4U reports that George is also developing an animated TV series about the Clone Wars. For those of you who aren't aware, previous Star Wars appearances on TV include The Star Wars Holiday Special which is "notorious for its negative reception." (Wikipedia) The new Clone Wars series will have more direct involvement from George, but already sounds like it's shaping up to be horribly disconnected from the rest of the story.
According to I4U, "Key characters such as Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala will be joined by new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka." I may be the only one, but I think that if Obi-Wan followed Qui-Gon around and Anakin followed Obi-Wan, Ahsoka would probably have followed Anakin. Why have we never met Ahsoka before? This part of the story can't take place after Episode III*, so why wasn't Ahsoka seen or mentioned AT ALL in that movie?
I guess I'll just have to wait and find out, but I strongly doubt I'll bother paying to let George further ruin what was once a great story.

* I assume you know why Ahsoka can't be Anakin's padawan after Episode III. If not, I'll avoid ruining the story for you.
