The battles of Tythe and Nelvaan both were created to show Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi beeing kept away from Coruscant. One being described in Labyrinth of Evil the other in the animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars.

To fit within the chronology there have been different ideas how to place them. The New Essential Chronology states that the Tythe battle happens after the events on Nelvaan, while Leland Chee meant to fix it the other way round some month earlier.

"In the series, Anakin and Obi-Wan investigate a possible base for Grievous on frigid Nelvaan, and Anakin goes on a spiritual journey; however, in the novel, Anakin and Obi-Wan search for traces of Darth Sidious on Tythe. Dooku only briefly pauses at Nelvaan. (This was explained by stating that their mission to Nelvaan actually happened before the novel, even before they attack Cato Neimoidia, which is their first mission in the novel. This is similar to how the episodes with Dooku meeting and training Asajj Ventress happen quite a while before Anakin and Kenobi's assault on Muunilinst.) Also, according to The New Essential Chronology, Anakin and Obi-Wan visited Nelvaan before Tythe."
―Wookieepedia article Star Wars: Clone Wars[src]

I'd like to know where these information from the Wookieepedia article Star Wars: Clone Wars(I've marked the concerning lines in bold) came from and if there where more official statements to the discrepancy. I'd also appreciate if you could tell me whether it was directly stated or just guessed that the Clone Wars episodes where based on early plot outlines for the novel.

Thanks in advance! — Isthisthedroidiamlookingfor 18:04, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the most likely source for that would be a comment from Mr. Chee in the Holocron thread on the StarWars.com forums, which were taken down in June. Tm_T saved what posts were already linked to on Wookieepedia, but I don't know if this one would be among them. It is possible that it came from somewhere else, such as a blog post on SW.com (which should still be there), but I doubt it.

I've pinged Tm_T on his talk page regarding the forums. It's also worth noting that the Battle of Coruscant article states in the BTS that Chee said they went from Tythe to Nelvaan and then Coruscant, which contradicts the quote above (this statement is also unsourced).

Hiya, my first (quick) run through archives didn't return anything relevant from Chee, only others' comments on it. I'll try search through it once more, you can see archives here. (: – Tm_T@Wookieepedia:~$ 20:46, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
My rudimentary search didn't find anything else but the top comment here, which most likely doesn't help. ): – Tm_T@Wookieepedia:~$ 16:58, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
I've been looking through it too and it seems to be exactly the thread I was looking for. The problem is that there seems to be no archived version of it at web.archive.org or elsewhere on the web. Thanks anyway, it was of great help so far. For further help it would be nice if anybody could tell me whether there is any other resource for archived pages of the forums or not.
Thanks in advance! — Isthisthedroidiamlookingfor 16:37, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
