The comics and the movie are two different takes on the character. Different universes. The EU means Expanded Universe, not Different Universe. This is why Lucas specifically forbid writers from delving into the Clone Wars period and tried to make the prequels fit with the EU instead of disregarding it completely. However, since he doesn't have a good grasp of continuity as it is, the effort was rather wasted.
The worst thing about this is that in order to UNDERSTAND a movie, you need to read/watch a bunch of related books, comics, mini-series which is a supportive role, spin-off, instead of relying just on events being properly unfolded in the original movie/movies that should serve the purpose of exploring the main storyline. And THAT storyline should hold the gravity center of depicting various events - not side projects.
Totally agree and its also quite hilarious that the clone wars were not really shown on screen nor the Jedi purge its all comic books, or video games, cartoons.
