Kind of weird about the Clone Wars cartoon series, it is used to show how Palps got kidnapped and how Grievous went from being a real villian to a crippled coughing idiot, and yet is not cannon. Seems like since you almost have to see it for the Grevious thing in ROTS to make since that it should be more cannonical than it is. Pretty poor planning, but then again, who has time to plan when you are swimming in cash.

I was one of the few people in my crowd of hardcore friends that didn't "get it" when Grievous was couphing. I kept thinking to myself "Why the hell does he sound like he has a smokers cough?" After the movie, my friends informed me "Don't you remember that he got squished in the Clone Wars series?" Oh yeah.
