That untrue unfortunetely HaydenisnotVAder As Lucas has Included The clone Wars 3D cartoon in the G-canon (george lucas canon) , as well as the force unleashed game.  and the upcoming tv show.

Officially The Clone Wars and the live action show are supposed to be T canon, which is a special level of canon just below the movie stuff and above everything else. But from what Lucas said I think he just considers them canon full stop. It's been said on this forum that Force Unleashed is considered serious canon, but I've yet to see proof. By serious canon in this context I mean considered canon by Lucas in his movies-and-tv-shows canon or officially count T canon or G canon by the Holocron official definition, above normal EU canon. I've yet to see any word from Lucas that he considers Force Unleashed to be in his personal canon. In May 2008 Lucas talked of his Star Wars being the movies and tv shows. Nowhere in there did he mention Force Unleashed. Force Unleashed is a BIG project, so surely he'd mention it in his list of canon if he considered it canon. I've been provided on this board some info about them trying to fit Force Unleashed in with continuity and it being canon but I'm not convinced that's talking about making it any more than C canon, the normal EU canon level.

But whatever canon they go by is invalid anyway. Any canon that includes the SE changes and Jar Jar and Hayden Skywalker is not a valid Star Wars canon. Lucas can count whatever he likes as canon, it doesn't count because he abrogated his authority when he did what he did in the SE. His work in the SE and PT has been at odds with Star Wars. The only real canon is the OOT.
