Ah, but it's pushed as being part of the canon...So? What new Star Wars thing isn't being pushed as canon these days? The Force Unleashed, Clone Wars, the PT, all Star Wars canon. Star Wars canon totally sucks. I don't even think the unaltered original trilogy is even considered canon anymore, how could it be, since events happen differently in the OT than they do in the PT.
The official Star Wars canon does totally suck. And is invalid. But it's still a serious issue. When people are claiming "This is Star Wars. This is what counts", then you're forced to take it more seriously than if it wasn't pushed as that. Even if like me you feel the official canon is invalid the very fact that it's being offically pushed and accepted by many means you have to confront it.
And it's a fraud. Pushing this stuff as real Star Wars is a fraud. And there's good reason to be angry about the fraud. The Clone Wars isn't just being pushed as a little kids show that doesn't matter -it's being pushed as real Star Wars that counts. Which means it's being pushed as something we should care about. Which means in a crucial sense it IS being pushed as for us. And seeing as it's not made for us, it being pushed as in a way for us is something we've a right to be pissed off about. Like I said, it's a fraud and I'm pissed off about the fraud.
