Question: is star wars the clone wars tv show canon

Answer: Yes, The Star Wars film series itself has never rebooted, however due to the works set after the original trilogy contradicting and deviating from Lucas own view of the Star Wars story a decision was made to discard the EU works from the franchise canon. Lucas decided to cease creative involvement after selling Lucasfilm (the production company of Star Wars) along with the Star Wars franchise itself to The Walt Disney Company in October 2012, and with a sequel trilogy of films and other works in development in order for new films to have creative freedom and prevent them from being beholden by the EU works. Because of Lucas views and the upcoming films needing such creative freedom, the decision was made to rebrand all the EU works as Star Wars Legends and discard them from canon. The only two EU works that remained within the Star Wars franchise canon were the 2008 Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated film and Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated TV series. With few exceptions, most of the non-film works works produced after April 2014 are part of the official canon as defined by Lucasfilm.
