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.

Exactly. And so far they haven’t bothered to give them a canon introduction either, they just kind of accept that those stories have already been told despite not being part the official canon.
