Clone Wars vs Clone Wars
There are two distinct Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon series. The original began in 2003, and ran to 2005 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361243/). The currently running one began in 2008, and runs to present (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458290/)
Both series take place between episodes 2 and 3. In the older series Anakin had no apprentice, and the final episode ended where Star Wars Revenge of the Sith began. So the two series would seem to conflict. Are both presented as alternate realities, or are we supposed to pretend the series from 2003 - 2005 never happened?

Lucas considers the recent show canonical and ignores the earlier show. He doesn't consider anything except the films (the 6 main films and Clone Wars film) and the recent Clone Wars show to be canonical. If the live action show had happened that would have been considered canonical by him too. His employees have built up a canon that includes the expanded universe, but Lucas himself ignores that. He's said that the expanded universe and his projects are two separate universe like Star Trek's expanded universe and its main works.

You can find some of his comments (last I looked) in the Wookieepedia article on canon. Most of that article is about the Lucasfilm pro-EU canon, which Lucas ignores, but there are a bunch of quotes from him. In one quote it's worth noting that when he refers to the tv shows he's talking (as he indicates) only about the ones he's particularly involved with and considers his pet projects, which are the recent Clone Wars show and the on-hold live-action show. He's not talking about Ewoks, Droids or the eearlier Clone Wars show, the others star wars shows over the years.
