View MoreI really found this show helpful for me to understand what happened in- between Star Wars attack of the clones and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. I also liked the animation to it as plus I liked the fact that the episodes weren't that long. If you liked Star Wars attack of the clones and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith then you will enjoy this.
View MoreStar Wars: Clone Wars from 2003 is Genndy Tartakovsky's (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory) most famous and relevant show on Cartoon Network because it is based on a famous eight part movie franchise currently owned by Disney (Known for Frozen and Lion King). One fact that intrigued me is that most of the twenty five episodes are three minutes long. This show is also a pilot series to The Clone Wars show from 2008. It combines elements from Episodes II and III as it takes place in between the two movies. It stinks that this show is no longer canon to the current Star Wars canon. This series won all the Emmy awards it got nominated for, thus making this series a must see on DVD. The series does not just combine the elements of not only Star Wars but Genndy's Samurai Jack.
View MoreI popped in the DVD for Volume 1 right after it came in the mail. Being a lifelong and all-encompassing Star Wars fanatic, including the non-canon literature, concepts, etc., I had to purchase this DVD, and I will still have to purchase Volume 2.I was a bit disappointed at first though, because it is SO SHORT! I want more and more and more and I'm sure the upcoming live-action Star Wars TV series will give me that. The episodes are only 15 minutes long, so Volume 1 is only just over an hour long in run-time.While short, the content is good, covering the intermediate time between Episodes II and III and incorporating some interesting story lines. Familiar planets like Dantooine, Mon Calamari and Yavin 4 are tossed into the prequel story arc, and new locations like the home planet of the Banking Clan, Muunilist, are introduced. This is a plus for any serious Star Wars fan. Anyone with a good knowledge of Episodes II and III can follow and understand what is going on in the animated episodes.While the action sequences are good for a cartoon-version of Star Wars, I felt the dialogue was severely lacking. And I'm not looking for a masterful interaction of the cartoon's characters throughout the entire 67 minutes of the DVD. But there were several sequences that lasted several minutes without any spoken words. The tactical scene with the ARC troopers on Muunilist was well-put-together, but why can't the ARC troopers be given dialogue? Several minutes of mere hand signals and motions got irritating without even one word uttered to accompany them. This was the same for Mace Windu's sequence in Volume 1. Two human characters should be able to interact verbally with each other if they are in the same vicinity for more than a few seconds, and this didn't happen, whether for budgeting or style purposes. Mind you, I am posting this only after watching Volume 1, so I'm not sure of the dialogue quality in Volume 2.I love Star Wars. I give Star Wars priority over pretty much all other films and series/sagas/etc. And the Clone Wars is a must-have for the die-hard fan. But the terrible dialogue, or lack-thereof, forces me to only give it a 6.
View MoreFrom the creator of "Dexter's Laboratory" (once my favorite kids' show) comes an unjustly praised exercise in beating up "Star Wars" for more lunch money. Genndy Tartakovsky's brilliantly surreal animation is here, but this is supposed to be (at least remotely) dramatic, so the style doesn't fit. In fact, the characters look like goofy sub-par video game renderings that make this feel like a clunky, fan-fodder horror from beyond.The truth is, this is not just a miserable story, it's a miserable way to tell a miserable story, destroying all hope for half-decency. In context, nothing in this drivel can feel quite real. If you really want to see "Star Wars," you'd find more in the dreadfully stupid "Attack of the Clones" than this, which was little more than a piece of meat thrown to the ravening masses.If you have millennia of patience and don't experience headaches induced by severe stupidity and banality, enjoy.
