 Fills in the Missing Bits? March 9, 2010
Thomas S. Williams (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)
I'm only a casual fan of Star Wars (not into the books and graphic novels), so the Clone Wars TV series is perfect as it continues the story with familiar characters and fits comfortably between the blockbuster films. The animation is high quality and the choices for the character voices are spot on, evoking both the animated Clone Wars movie and the live-action films.
I admit a little bit of the thrill is taken out when the realisation sets in that all the main characters are going to survive until Episode 3 "The Revenge of the Sith", where many of them won't even make an appearance or warrant a mention (Ventress? Ahsoka?).
I find the characters a little 1-dimensional and the back story development nearly non-existent - but my 8-year-old loves everything about the Clone Wars, so they must be doing something right!
 Worthy of the Name Star Wars March 8, 2010
BattleGnome (Frisco, TX)
I was extremely skeptical of this series, and did not watch it until it came out on Blu-Ray. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. The CGI looks amazing, has a lot of great detail, and the stories are actually pretty interesting. You get to see a lot of character development, and a lot of development around the other races and their home worlds. If you are a Star Wars fan, or you have a kid you want to get interested it, then this is a great series to pick up.
Great way for the kids to watch uninterupted episodes! March 4, 2010
D. Minns (Portland, OR)
My kids love Star Wars, and they watch these episodes all the time. When will Season 2 be available?
Everything You Could Hope For March 3, 2010
Hrafnkell Haraldsson (Indiana)
I never understood why, when I arrived at the theater to see the new Clone Wars film, the place was not packed with Star Wars fans. I loved the film. Just loved it. I thought it was incredibly well done. The action sequences were about the best I'd seen in animation. The story was good and I loved Ahsoka and her interactions with Anakin. Everyone looked a bit funny with the style used but that was alright. It's a cartoon after all. I didn't expect life-like images of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen.
So of course, I had no problem sitting down with my son to watch the series either. And we have both enjoyed that immensely. The stories are always thoughtful and have the same mixture of humor and drama that characterized the original films. They are a bit episodic in nature but they have multi-part episodes and to a degree they all tie in, so it's not an endless series of planet-hopping to no purpose. You understand why the Jedi are there, what their goals are, and what the goals of the Separatists are. We get to see some of the Jedi we barely saw in the films, including Aayla Secura and Kit Fisto (even his padawan), and we see more of the Jedi Temple and its inner workings, including the crotchety old librarian who was so snippy with Obi Wan when he went there for help in finding Kamino.
We also get to meet the clones, up close and personal. We get to see that despite being clones, they have different personalities. We get to see Commander Cody, the man who would eventually try to kill Obi Wan, and Captain Rex, and others. Knowing that these fellows will obey Order 66 and one day try to kill the Jedi they often times so clearly admire, is touching. If you've played Star Wars Battlefront II you've already experienced this to a degree from the eyes of the 501st - the boys Anakin took into the Jedi Temple to exterminate the Jedi in Episode III.
Why would anyone turn down the opportunity to delve deeper into the Star Wars universe?
Remember at the beginning of that episode how the crawl said "there were heroes on both sides"? Here you can meet some of those heroes. That line had always struck me and I'd always wished Lucas had been able to expand upon the idea. Now he can. Who were the people and the creatures who led the Separatist forces? If you want to find out, watch Clone Wars.
If you're a Star Wars fan, give the show a chance if you haven't already. Just open your mind the way you did the first time you sat down to watch the first movie. I was skeptical that rainy day back in 1977 when I went to the theater to see Star Wars. We were bored and decided to take a chance. It was a life-changing moment, the most memorable film in history. While the cartoon may not compare visually (it's a cartoon after all) it further fills out the story you fell in love with on that day. Like George Lucas said, Star Wars is ultimately about Darth Vader and his redemption. If you want to get to know him better, watch Clone Wars. He's got a hard edge, and you an see the elements of his personality present that take him to the Dark Side later, in Episode III. And I think what takes place in this series makes that development a little easier to understand, since Lucas had to telescope the transformation to fit into the films. I doubt by the time we are done with the series that it will seem all that abrupt when we sit down to watch Episode III again.
Excellent retelling of the years between movie episodes February 25, 2010
Carlos Esparza (Baldwin Park, CA)
I saw "The Clone Wars" movie on Blu-Ray and I enjoyed it. I then purchased this set also on Blu-Ray and I was hooked on the TV program. The mini documentaries for each episode are excellent and entertaining. I love having multiple audio tracks in alternate languages with their corresponding subtitles. I love the scene from episode 1 where Yoda teaches the clones about their individuality. I watched that scene five times in all the languages! It is a beautiful scene reminiscent of the "Empire Strikes Back". I love having two Spanish audio tracks; the original Castellano is SO COOL!!

Fate of the Jedi: Who Dies?
LOTF was definitely a kill-fest for favorite characters. Lumiya, Pellaeon, Ailyn Vel, Mara and Jacen all got offed by the end. And, of course, Chewie and Anakin and Vergere all died in NJO. So now I'm wondering: who will die in FOTJ?
