The upcoming Star Wars: Clone Wars CGI cartoon will fit in continuity between Episode 2 and Episode 3. Lucasfilm has taken this opportunity to give Anakin Skywalker his own padawan. ComingSoon.net has:
She is a mysterious new Padawan named Ahsoka Tano. This young Togruta is eager to prove herself as a worthy Padawan to her bold Master, Anakin Skywalker. Able to wield a lightsaber and pilot a spacecraft with great talent, Ahsoka promises to become a worthy Jedi.
This is an interesting change to cannon. No mention of Anakin having a padawan was every made in the films (not sure about the books). In Episode 3 he acted as if he was still Obiwan’s padawan.
The 2 Clone Wars mini-series were entertaining, the type of show for the whole family. I’m looking forward to this series. It’s a good medium to tell the story of the Clone Wars.
Clone Wars is set to debut this fall!

Hey, I am looking forward to this series for awhile now. I am an avid reader of the novels, and there has never been a mention of any Padawan. It might have happened in the comics, I haven’t kept up there.
Also, if you remember from Ep3, Anakin was a full Jedi Knight, and was pushing to be made a Master when put on the Council. But Obi-wan is still his old Master, so he gives him that respect. He even calls him his old Master in Ep4.
Just my two cents.
Cheers.
