Because it isn't intended for you. You won't get into this for the same reason you don't wake up at 6 am on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons (do kid's still do that? Or has the CN and other channels that air cartoons during the day killed the Saturday morning cartoon?). This show is not aimed at you. I think too many older SW fan are taking this show and looking at it as if it were made for them. A very exaggerated comparison, but it is like a paleontologist watching Barney and Friends for the first time, and feeling disappointed that the show's depiction of dinosours was not very accurate, and that it has very little to offer paleontologists or people truely interested in learning about dinosaurs. That is totally missing the point. Clone Wars is very clearly aimed at young kids, and for what it is it is doing its job. It doesn't have to fit into canon, or make sence, because that is not its purpose, its purpose is to amuse and entertain children.
I don't think it is very fair when people attack The Clone Wars so harshly. It is what it is. A kids TV series based off a successful but lame series of modern sci-fi films, which in turn was a spin off of some successful and well done older sci-fi films. I think some of us are just getting into the habit of attacking anything new with the name Star Wars on it, regardless of its merit. The Clone Wars is achieving what it set out to accomplish, no matter how good or how bad it does, some of us will tear it apart. Tons of good movies have silly kids shows based off of them. Where is the dissing of Star Trek: The Animated Series, Return to the Planet of the Apes, Ewoks, Droids. All those were some pretty crappy cartoons, but we have always managed to write them off as, "just for the kiddies". Why not this treatment for CW?
