Be nice. This is apparently the first he's ever heard of the 2003 series and I doubt he knows offhand that the shorts were all directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (of Samurai Jack and Powerpuff Girls fame), or that it wasn't CGI like the 2008 series.

It's hard to follow a conversation when you don't understand the references being used in it.

They should have given it a different name to make it less confusing to discuss.

I certainly agree a different name for each would have been nice.

As it stands, some would say that the 2008 series replaces the 2003 series, thus rendering the old one non-canon. This is mostly because the 2008 series fleshes out a lot of the events between AOTC and ROTS. It also builds on and expands the relationships between various characters (especially Obi-Wan and Anakin). By comparison, the 2003 series took a more bullet-point approach to its storytelling.

On the other hand, the '08 show introduces characters that are only significant within that show and have little to no real impact on the larger story. Or at least that's my understanding of it.

Continuity is a funny thing when it comes to Star Wars.
