Customer Reviews

The Star Wars saga continues, in an unexpected way
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.

EDIT - My review is based on having seen every episode. Now that I've got the DVD set, I am even more impressed! There is a 64 page book in the middle of the DVD's with concept art from the show and its very nice. The case is not cheap, its more like a book itself. I'm guessing that they will eventually offer a nice book shelf container for holding all the seasons when it is done. In the words of Darth Vader: "Impressive, most impressive"

Star Wars gets even better
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.

Pretty awesome
For the Science Fiction Star Wars geek, what's not to love? So what, it's done in almost video game animation style. I'm all right with that. The series absolutley SCREAMS Star Wars. It has all the things we all thought were cool about the movies. And it is made by fans of Star Wars, which is a plus. They stay true to the universe. The bonus features are awesome as well. I was, like I am sure a lot of fans, a little hesitant that animated SW could be good, but this is good. Granted the droids are a little too dumb, but I can get over that. This is good entertainment.
