1) Description
The "Clone Wars" goes back to the original Star Wars film when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke Skywalker that he was once a Jedi knight the same as your father and that they fought together in the Clone Wars. Since that moment fans have been obsessed with what the clone wars were. This new TV series takes place immediately after the events of Star Wars-Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The series follows Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker and introduces us to some new characters such as Ahsoka Tano a girl Jedi knight as well as characters we already know. Features: 22 episodes, including seven director's cut episodes 22 behind-the-scenes featurettes including director and crew interviews Exclusive 64-page production journal with original sketches and artist notes Sneak peek of season 2

1) Fun, action packed show that blows the prequel trilogy away   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This being the first season, a few episodes are kinda 'meh'. But even the legendary Batman: The Animated Series was that way. As it went on, The Clone Wars became darker, grittier, and an all out joy to watch! Any Star Wars fan should give this show a chance! Season 2 on now and it has been amazing so far.

2) Star Wars gets even better   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
At first I thought a cartoon version of Star Wars could never be good, until I was bored and bought The Clone Wars movie. Absolutely awesome. The stories are unbelievable. While the series seems to be geared toward children, it is great for adults as well. I actually couldn't wait for the first season to come out on DVD and bought it on iTunes. I even think the campy droid humor is awesome. And yes, beings are killed in some episodes. They couldn't have picked a better way to bridge the gap between episode II and episode III. I have seen all the movies multiple times, read all the 110+ books and even the comic books and I say this does Star Wars Justice. A must get for any Star Wars fan.

3) The Star Wars saga continues, in an unexpected way   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
When I heard that they were releasing a Star Wars "cartoon" in the Movie theaters, I scoffed. I have seen the movies dozens of times and still remember seeing the original at the drive in (!) in 1977 all summer long. I've read all the best Star Wars books (*cough*TimothyZahn*cough*), played most of the games, have all the music on my ipod and saw Episode III at midnight. Yea, I'm a fan. Episode 1 and 2 didn't do it for me, but EP3 brought Lucas back into my good graces.Despite being a hard core fan, I refused to see a Star Wars cartoon in a movie theater. Rubbish! I declared. How can Star Wars be a blocky cartoon?That was a mistake. When I finally got the movie on DVD, it was fantastic. When this show came out on Cartoon Network, finally, for the first time in YEARS I had a Sci Fi show that I actually looked forward to watching each week. Yes, its a cartoon. Yes, I would prefer a live action show or another movie, but I know that is later and never (respectively). Yes, it could be geared a little more toward adults (but then BattleStar Galactica was so much geared toward adults, that I couldn't watch it. Its softcore porn wrapped in a swearfest, served with torture and gore... oh goody. Lorne Greene is spinning in his grave...) but in the end, just about every episode of Clone Wars is memorable, with little to no filler.Parts of it are recycled, some of the scenes are almost stolen right from the movies, but it works, it works, it works. And there is enough new material to overlook the recycled parts. I like the quips, I like the new Padawan and the action scenes are fantastic.I don't give away 5 stars easily. And if you're turned off at my comments about "BS" Galactica and think your shows need more porn and gore, not less, you might be turned off a bit at Clone Wars.After EP3, I thought I would never get a chance to invest my imagination in the Star Wars universe again, but Clone Wars proved me dead, dead wrong.

4) Star Wars Continues   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I can't wait for this Season to be released and although it's not out yet I am rating the episodes themselves and they were great. This is what Star Wars is all about action adventure humor and just having a good time. This show was far better than I imagined I was very skeptical but it surpassed my expectations. George Lucas said he is going to make 100 episodes of this show so about 5 Seasons so if you are a Star Wars fan it's a good time right about now. Season 2 is coming up in a few weeks and there is a live action show coming in a year or so.

5) Episode II is Shakespearean by comparison   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
And I'm someone who up until a few months ago, still loved the new trilogy (mostly) and I still consider Revenge of the Sith to be on par with the original trilogy. I've read at least 100 Star Wars books, and a great many of the games. I realize there is a lot of crap under the banner of Star Wars. But... this series is a horrendous abomination.The dialogue is beyond horrendous, and makes the most awkward "love" scenes in Episode II feel like the work of Shakespeare by comparison. It's worse even than typical children's' shows in that while it's obviously aimed for children, it's still unbelievably terrible, and so full of stupid puns and tired expressions and dull monotonous recitation of lines that I imagine even the target audience would be bored with these sequences, and fast forward through all but the battle scenes.Jar Jar Binks is rendered pleasant in comparison to this Padawan girl that Anakin is inexplicably given to train (Jedi Knights do not train Padawans; only Masters) whose entire role consists of generic "tough girl" sassy quips and ridicule.The 3D animation is what you'd expect from a LucasFilms budget, but perhaps to keep themselves linked with the much more successful Clone Wars micro-sodes by Genndy Tartakovsky, they retain the stupid shapes of people's heads that consists of various juxtapositions of gravity-defying squares, circles, and polygons. Count Dooku's beard looks like the triangular front-piece of an old-time freight train, and it looks stiff as metal, too.The battle scenes would certainly be the highest appeal for children, but for the non-children watcher, even those are usually made a mess by the constant stale quips and jabbering between Obi-Wan and Anakin and That Annoying Girl being spoken/yelled at one another throughout an entire sequence.General Grievous is just as useless and nonthreatening a villain as he was in the movie, and the droid shenanigans that are apparently meant to be "humorous" are jacked up tenfold from the movie, and ten times less cute/funny.Obviously the point of this series is to make an open-ended source of stories, no matter how stale or hackily written, to be exploited for episode fodder and money.
