PoP-Culture WI: The Clone Wars was saved?

This might be ASB or it might not be but what if the Clone Wars was allowed to continue by Disney? Let's say Disney allows it to go to season 7. The reason for that is because Episode VII is coming out in 2015 and they want to at least give the pre-ST era a fitting send off--maybe they are aware of the anti-pt-but-pro-tcw arguments around the internet that TCW "fixed", "redeemed" or "salvaged" that era after the Prequels and allowed for a new generation of SW fans. Thus TCW become a transition to Episode VII in 2015

What would be the implications of this?

The EU will probably be toast either way but what happens to TCW, will post Wrong Jedi episodes be still in Legends AND new Canon(a unique)? Will it still have the positive reception it has today or will it lose it over time(I'm guessing if it happens, the same style as Game of Thrones--it gets too dark and we actually know no one will get a happy ending and the voices of the EU purists start to gain traction, much like the GOT Stannis fans and book purists)? Will Rebels still happen(difference is that it happens after TCW cancellation at season 7 WITH the Force Awakens)?

If the Clone Wars was allowed to continue for a season or two, those seasons would be spent wrapping everything up to a fitting conclusion before moving onto the next project.

The question is how will it be remembered if it was extended to season 7 to coincide with a passing-the-torch from PT era back to OT era and onto ST era, will it be remembered as the show that brought in new fans and restored faith in older fans disillusioned by the PT while also pleasing those who did like the PT as it is OTL, or had it continued, would it actually be viewed with more scrutiny(either for being too dark or if the EU purists and the Traviss fans gain traction on the internet)?

Essentially is part of its current reception as a tragic victim to Disney restructuring of SW canon because of how it ended while fan reception was at its peak?

The Clone Wars TV show IS part of Canon so season 7 would likely correspond to tie ins between CWs and the new rebels show... Similar to the kanann
Story arc in the new marvel comics.
