In an interview with Now Playing Magazine, Clone Wars creator Genndy Tartakovsky talks about the link between the 3rd season of the cartoon and 'Revenge of the Sith'. Here's a clip:

"I can't confirm or deny that report," laughs Tartakovsky when prodded for some info about the latest Star Wars rumors, before fessing up to a tidbit of news. "Basically, if you cut out the scroll [from the beginning of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith], it would be completely seamless where we end and the movie starts."

This hardwired connection between the new animated series and Lucas' sure-to-be blockbuster movie is one of the main reasons why Tartakovsky, who's best known as the creator of the highly regarded Samurai Jack, decided to do another run of Clone Wars episodes.

"After the first batch we were all exhausted, and we were starting to move on to do other things," explains the animator. "And then all of a sudden we were contacted that they wanted to do another batch. And I wasn't really interested in doing another one because I thought, ?Well, it's really hard.' And I thought more Clone Wars is not going to be as interesting. But then I met with George and he told me he wanted to do a story where it ties in exactly to the beginning of Episode III, and that got me excited because it seemed like it's really part of the mythology, and it's coming from George himself - that he respected [Clone Wars] so much that he wanted us to tell the story of the scroll from Episode III."
