There has been quite a bit of news today regarding the upcoming Clone Wars novels by Karen Traviss and Karen Miller. Karen Miller will be taking the reins with the fifth and final book, due to scheduling conflicts, while Karen Traviss will remain the author for the third book.
The first bit of news is from Karen Miller's livejournal page, where she states:
Because she's such a great writer, and so insanely in demand, Karen Traviss has found herself up against horrific deadlines that can't be switched around. As a result, I've been asked to take on the fifth of the Star Wars Clone Wars novels ... and have said yes. So now I'm writing #s 2, 4 and 5. Wheee! Also, yikes! Have I mentioned how scary this is?

Karen Traviss's page also has the following notice:
Folks, I have to apologise - I've hit yet another log-jam of books, and that means I need to drop something. Schedules change, deadlines shift, and I had to make tough choices, because my diary now says I can't do it all. So I've pulled out of the fifth Clone Wars book to accommodate other novels. My good friend Karen Miller - who's already writing the other two books in the series - has stepped up like a good 'un to take it on. So that's one more beer I owe her. (Thanks, mate!)
So, Karen Traviss is slated for books 1 and 3, while Karen Miller is slated for 2, 4 and 5. Karen Traviss is certainly busy, with her next book being released in a week's time, Order 66, which is the final installment of the Republic Commandos series.
Finally, The official Star Wars site has also announced the shakeup, and also some tidbits regarding the next book, by Karen Miller, entitled Wild Space:
Following the New York Times-bestselling Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the Karen Traviss novel that brought the animated movie of the same name to the printed page, Del Rey Books will publish four more Clone Wars novels to tie-in to the forthcoming animated television series. Beyond novelizations, these books will serve as companion adventures, featuring new stories set against the backdrop of the television episodes.
The first of these new adventures, The Clone Wars: Wild Space, is due out in trade paperback format this December. In this tale by Karen Miller, Senator Bail Organa has received some explosive intelligence that could turn the tide of war in the Republic's favor--if his information is legitimate. While Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano embark on a risky mission against General Grievous, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi accompanies Bail Organa on a journey of discovery... and deadly danger.
Karen Traviss will return to pen the third book, The Clone Wars: No Prisoners. While it was originally planned that Traviss would also write the fifth book in the series, she's had to pull out because of clashing deadlines. Karen Miller will continue the series with the remaining two Clone Wars novels.

With the television series being released on October 3rd, I'll be interested to see just how these five books follow the action - Karen has been noted to saying that the books are loosely based off of the movie, which, in my opinion, was a step up. Hopefully Miller will be able to carry on the action and prove to be another fantastic addition to the Star Wars lineup.

The Clone Wars television series debuts this October on Cartoon Network! If you want to find the original source check out Scifiwire
The new Clone Wars series will air first on Cartoon Network on October 3rd at 9:00 PM ET/PT, the first episode will last one hour. For more information on the coming series and the first couple episodes check out the link provided above.
This is very exciting, in a way the recent Clone Wars movie was just an advertisement, a teaser, of what was to come. The new episodes are looking to be a lot of fun, with much more about the relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka and their time together as master and padawan. It also seems that we will get to see a lot more of Master Yoda and even get to see an episode involving Plo Koon, who happens to be one of my all time favorite Jedi.
This new series is going to be really cool. The animation is pretty neat, and so far I think that the relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka was one of the more interesting aspects of the series so far (from what can be gleaned from the movie, which was basically an advertisement for the series). I think that the series will be prove the quite exciting, and it finally gives me reason to watch Cartoon Network again. We will continue to post more information on the new television series, stay tuned!
