By the way, welcome to the Forums, g4tv098! Hope to see you contributing frequently. :)

Has anybody know that Durge did survive the implozion
Durge is like Jason: he survives everything. ;)

That reminds me of the self-referential dialogue in Obsession:
DURGE: "I'm getting tired of ambushing you, Kenobi."

OBI-WAN: "So am I."

At least Star Wars authors can poke fun at themselves. And truthfully, Durge did get a little tiresome at length...

But in the novel, they never confronted each other during the kidnapping. What gives?
Well, they duel on the hover-train, but as Master Aaron wrote, those two sources are often contradictory. I tend to assume that the events in one overlap with the other (after all, Mace's confrontation with Grievous on the boarding ramp doesn't preclude the possibility of an earlier fight). In general, I lean toward book continuity for its greater complexity; however, one could also argue that Lucas supervised The Clone Wars more directly. It's a toss up, and I'm sure Mister Chee will eventually devise a coherent timeline.

Of course, stranger discrepancies exist in real-world history. Study the Great Depression and you'll note that some history books describe "Black Thursday", while others speak of "Black Tuesday". In actuality, both "black days" occurred over a two-week interval. A Star Wars character obsessing over Earth history might note a continuity error. ;)

I look to the books for storyline and the micro series as entertainment. Why? Because personally I feel the action in clone wars was too over the top with tartovsky (I think thats how you spell his name. Cant be bothered to look it up) trying to make it too much like his samurai jack. Also in an interview with the team for the upcoming CGI series they said in the micro-series the action was so over the top that if it happened on geonosis in AOTC the clone wars wouldn't have happened. The droids would have been smoking heaps on the floor in seconds with minimal jedi casualties. So based on the action I just think for continuity you should stick with the books.

ok so i just read a interesting blog about the whole Clone Wars mini series. Master Ki-Aaron-Mundi wrote a blog called "Misrepresented, the Clone Wars Are" and in it he suggests that the Clone Wars Mini series was not TRUE cannon but "The Legend of The Clone Wars." meaning that it was what the clone wars seemed like to an outside party (not being of the Republic or the Separatist) i must say it was well written and calm a lot of my anxiety that came from watching it and i do belive that people that did and did not like The Clone Wars mini series will agree with what he had to say.

Well I just got finished watching the second disc of the animated series of Clone Wars and I must say, what a disappointment. For one I didn?t like the animation, but that is a personal preference. Where it really disappointed me was the continuity factor. You have Clone Wars competing with Labyrinth of Evil, so who is the right one??

In Labyrinth of Evil you have Obi Wan and Anakin fighting Dooku on Tythe where they become trapped in rubble and free them selves and then come to Coruscant. In clone wars you have Anakin doing his last trail to become a Jedi knight.

In Labyrinth of evil you have an awesome fight between Mace Windu and General Grievous on top of the speeding train before Grievous captures the chancellor. In Clone Wars, Mace fights with Grievous for a few seconds, on the ground, AFTER he had captured the chancellor. So I would like to know who is the TRUE one and who is the one that we just look at and say "oh if only that were true" and laugh.

I'm different, though I really liked LOE, the clone war cartoon series is not to be dismissed. Yep, unfortunately, you have super duper jumping jedi, jedi that can fly, and some really cool and outrageous action, but in the end. This series was the cataclyst to generate the new clone wars stuff that GL's animation company is coming out with. In fact, he even stated that he is looking at 100 episodes of clone war stuff. They are not going to adapt or use any of the novels and comic books, so this will be fresh new stuff and a great compliment to the old micro mini-series

What gives?
Let's face it, there were a number of discrepancies between Labyrinth of Evil and the Clone Wars microseries. My general rule is, if the two can be made to agree (i.e. it's not that it didn't happen, just that LoE didn't mention it, or vice versa), then I go with that.

Overall, though, I tend to see LoE as the more canon source, and the microseries as a sort of "Legends of the Clone Wars" type thing. shameless plugIf you want, you can read more about my explanation in my blog here.[/shameless plug]

I'd go with the cartoon show. GL himself was there when they made it and plus GG had that cough in Ep. 3

I just got done with Labyrinth of Evil. I remember seeing in the "clone wars" cartoons, that Mace Windu confronted General Grievous during his kidnapping of Palpatine. He used the force to semi-crush his rib cage. But in the novel, they never confronted each other during the kidnapping. What gives?

As I recall, Labryinth of Evil describes a typical move of Kenobi's... I'd find it exactly, but I loaned the book to a friend...

Something to the effect of when a battle droid is shooting at him, he deflects the first blast away at another opponent, then the second at the original shooter.

You think it's more cowardly to fight unarmed (besides the Force) than with both a lightsaber and the Force?

Obi-Wan Kenobi was an extraordinarily courageous warrior, who was always thinking of the most efficient way to defeat the enemy. He would most often attack with his lightsaber, using his Force powers for defense (like most good Jedi). Particularly, he would use his powers of persuasion to bring about diplomatic solutions, hence his nickname "the Negotiator". However, he knew that if the situation called for a solution involving use of the Force, then that would be the approach he would take.

Out of interest riley, why do you keep asking all these strange questions about Obi-Wan Kenobi. Surely you could find the answers somewhere on the Internet?
