Which one of these are you talking about as being canon?
The 2008 Clone Wars computer animated series is the one still considered canon. As someone who has watched both series in their entirety... I hate to admit it but the CG series somehow managed to capture more of the OT spirit, with tons of character development, particularly of Obi-Wan and the new character Ahsoka. The Gendy series was just Samurai Jack in space.
As Samurai Jack or Dexter's Lab as it was, the Genndy Tartakovsky version did originally tie in with the movies, quite directly. So, in your opinion, the later CG "reboot" of Clone Wars felt more like what it should have been, so it is "still considered canon" as opposed to the non-canon status you most likely are applying to the original series... That actually defends the position that if something "better" came along with the same names as the movies of the PT, that they could be supplanted. (Again, not my opinion that that would happen, but it is interesting to see it occurring under your noses with a related property.)
I really need to work on getting all my thoughts into my posts. Not saying that because something is better it should replace it. I was merely reflecting that after the canon purge it remained official while the older did not. I personally disregard the notion of 'official' canon... And I just happened to enjoy the newer series quite a bit, for different reasons than I enjoyed the older. And I don't think I could enjoy remakes of the PT... It is no more fair than remakes of the OT, from a purely unbiased standpoint.
