I know, and as I said it played really loose with its connection to EU material so it doesn’t really matter, but if we were to nitpick, then CW season 7 is technically part of both continuities. CW is such an oddity canon-wise. It is, as you say G-canon, so it trumped all other content, yet it was also made to fit within the time-jump in Tartakovsky’s CW cartoon, hence why season 1 starts with Anakin being a Jedi and why it never intended to show the attack on Coruscant. However, despite being the last part of Legends, it was canonized as the first non-movie content in the new EU and has been treated as the starting point for new animated series. The reason I find this funny is that it’s a canon series that was made to fit within a non-canon series, yet they continued several unresolved arcs in a canon sequel series, which means that the Legends version (regardless of whether season 7 counts) will most likely always be unfinished.

The weirdest part is that without Tartokovsky’s CW, Grievous and Ventress just sorta show up outta nowhere.
